Description
English: Barmston Main Drain from Barmston Sea End, south-east of Barmston, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

As part of a target that at least 10% of construction aggregates were to be from recycled or secondary sources the Environment Agency used approximately 300 tonnes of recycled coping stones as sea defence to protect cliffs at Barmston Sea End from erosion (Select Committee on Environmental Audit https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199899/cmselect/cmenvaud/426/426ap68.htm ).

A life-boatman's house and lifeboat station, built and closed in the 19th century, was once located at the mouth of Barmston Main Drain. World War Two defences saw the mouth of the Barmston Main Drain protected by anti-tank cubes at TA 1727 5867¹ and a ditch, with a gun emplacement and trench at TA 1716 5873.
