A nostalgic look back at our old library.
Hunmanby's old library still stands on Stonegate. It was purpose built by East Riding Council, through the hard work of the long standing late Miss Owston.

Bright and airy it was popular with all ages, but the financial cutbacks at North Yorkshire County Council saw its closed in 2012. Here are some photos of the library.
