Everything about Ravenspurn totally explained
Ravenspurn was an old
East Riding of Yorkshire town, in
England, which was lost due to
coastal erosion. The town is one of more than 30 along the
Holderness Coast which have been lost to the
North Sea since the 1800s. The town was located close to the end of a peninsula close to
Ravenser Odd, which has also been flooded. The peninsula still survives in some form today and is known as
Spurn Head. The North Sea lies to the east of the peninsula; the river
Humber lies to the west.
The nearest major city was
Kingston upon Hull.
The region of coastline is known as the Holderness Coast, geologically the land is made from
glacial tills (
boulder clay). This type of land is subject to coastal erosion and the town was lost to the sea.
Now at sea, areas around the site are being drilled for
natural gas.
Ravenspurn appears in the
William Shakespeare plays
Richard II,
1 Henry IV, and
3 Henry VI under the spelling "Ravenspurgh".
