Designed by William Botterill of Kingston upon Hull, Longcroft, later Longcroft Hall, was erected circa 1863 by J.A. Hudson, son of a brick maker of Kingston upon Hull. A much altered house of red brick with stone quoins and some Gothic details. The house and part of its grounds was later occupied by Longcroft School, latterly East Riding College until September 2015 when it closed and reopened in new premises in Flemingate, Beverley.

This site was closed in the summer of 2015, the college relocated to a brand new building on the Flemingate development in the centre of Beverley, Image

Knocked down and now being redeveloped as an expensive housing estate. The new college has been built near the railway station in the new Flemingate development

The course falls within a block of four grid squares of which this is the top NE square. This view looking NW in the direction the horses come running from before they reach the 4 furlong marker, is in the bottom SW corner of the square. To the NE corner of the square it's mostly large traditional housing.

The college offers courses starting with 6th Form entry.

Footpath at the rear of Hurn House, No.33 New Walk, leading from Gallows Lane to the gate at the entrance to Westwood Pasture. The boundary stone depicted at Image is approximately halfway along the foot of the wall.

The boundary stone depicted, marked on the 1908 O.S. map, is set against the rear wall of Hurn House, No.33 New Walk, in the footpath that extends from Gallows Lane to the gate leading to Westwood Pasture. The stone is inscribed 'PARISH BOUNDARY'. Beyond the said wall is St Mary's parish; the photographer is positioned in Molescroft. The custom of perambulating the boundaries of the parish was observed annually during Rogation week. To this end, the priest and his congregation would pass from one boundary stone to another. The parish boundaries were first fully mapped in 1851-2; they may have been substantially those that existed in the Middle Ages.

Welcome and warning notice at the top of Norfolk Street as you go through onto Beverley Westwood, or as the notice says, Beverley Pastures! I have lived here for 40 years and that is a new one on me
