Former gatekeeper's cottage on the site of the level crossing where the dismantled Hull & Hornsea Railway crosses Green Lane, east of Swine. The line opened in 1864 and lasted until 1965. The nearby Swine Station closed to goods in 1963 and entirely in 1964. The path of the railway now forms the Hornsea Rail Trail and the eastern stretch of the Trans Pennine Trail. The Trans Pennine Trail runs for 215 miles from Hornsea to Southport and was officially opened in September 2001. Many former railway buildings like this one are now privately owned houses.
