Trinity Cut

The iron bridge spanning the Cut was built in 1888 leading to Alexandra Gardens. The Alexandra Hotel was built here in 1863. This became the largest hotel in the area and was extended in 1920 to 200 bedrooms and a ballroom.
 
It closed in 1975 and was demolished to provide the site for a development of flats.
 
The hotel had been occupied by the forces in World War Two.

Turn left and walk up to Holy Trinity Church built at the end of the Promenade in 1871 in 13th century style, to designs by Smith and Brodrick of Hull, to minister to the increasing population in this area. Reverent T.G. Lloyd Greame of Sewerby paid for much of the building.
