Background
Hunmanby lock-up is a historic building in Hunmanby, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in 1834 as the village lock-up, for the temporary detention of people. The village's animal pound was in poor condition, so a new pound was constructed, adjoining the lock-up. The lock-up fell out of use in the 1890s, after a police station was constructed in nearby Filey. The building was grade II listed in 1952.
