The old haven mouth is called Flashmire, and is over against Brough, a Roman town, on the Yorkshire shore."  the flat, by the Humber, as well as the banks above it, affords a most agreeable promenade or drive, in which the broad bosom is seen laden with all sorts of craft, and giant steam is beheld triumphing over both land and water,- the Humber Packets and the trains of the Hull and Selby railway, on the opposite of the river, darting to and fro before the eye with the fleetness of wind; whilst, in the background, are seen many handsome villas, and the bold range ranges of the Yorkshire Wolds.  Near the village, is a chalyheate spring, supposed to possess great medicinal properties.  The Church (All Saints) is a neat structure, of early English architecture, lighted by lancet shaped windows, and consisting of a nave, with aisles, a cancel, a chapel on the north side, and a western tower.  The arches have zig zag and other mouldings, and in the chancel is a tomb, on which is laid the figure of a knight in armour, probably one of the Marmions.
