This is another place a stumbled upon whilst being away for a few days. At first i didn't have a clue as to what this building was until I had a quick search. The land is currently up for sale with a view to be redeveloped to house 40 static caravans.

Operator Charlie Anderson taken in 1936. He later became Officer In Charge
The new station was built in close proximity to the sea, it's site having been partly chosen to provide a good location for a direction finder (DF) installation covering the River Humber area. The buildings were of a similar design to the flank stations at North Foreland GNF and Cullercoats GCC. The new station opened with a compliment of 11 staff comprised of nine Radio Officers, a Handyman and the Officer in Charge/Station Manager.
It closed 30th June 2000.
