The Hull and Hornsea Railway was a branch line which connected the city of Kingston upon Hull with the seaside town of Hornsea. Wikipedia: Link The line was officially opened on 28 March 1864, with trains departing from Wilmington railway station. From 1 June 1864 traffic travelled along the newly doubled Victoria Dock Branch into Paragon Station. Closure of the line came as a direct result of the Beeching Report. The last passenger train ran on 19 October 1964. Goods traffic continued to use the line as far as Hornsea Bridge until 3 May 1965.

Sutton on Hull retains the character of a traditional village with winding streets of mediaeval origin overlooked by a 14th century church and some property boundaries recalling the mediaeval open field system. In the19th century, proximity to Kingston upon Hull led to the development of institutional buildings and big houses for wealthy residents from the city. During the course of the mid to late 20th century the village became surrounded by modern housing estates. It does, however, retain extensive areas of green space with many trees and bushes throughout.
