RAF Patrington, built during the Second World War, was a radar station and used for ground-controlled interception. In 1955, following the building of a new RAF station at nearby Holmpton, the radar site closed, being surplus to requirements. The new radar site at Holmpton was later renamed RAF Patrington.
Patrington was served from 1854 to 1964 by Patrington railway station on the Hull and Holderness Railway.[3]
