SPURN HEAD, or SPURN POINT

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 743 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SPURN HEAD, or SPURN POINT , a foreland of the
North
  Sea
coast
  of
England
 , in
Yorkshire
 , projecting across the mouth of the Humber. Its length is nearly 4 M. from the
village
  of Kilnsea, but its breadth seldom exceeds 300 yds., and it rises only a few feet above sea-level. It is formed of
sand
  and
shingle
 , the debris of the soft
coast
  of Holderness to the
north
 , from which it is estimated that six million tons of material are annually removed by southerly currents along the shore. Deep water is found close off the seaward side of Spurn Head, the formation of which appears to have taken
place
  within historic times, even since about the close of the 16th
century
 . There are two light-houses and a lifeboat station on the head.
