This old building is gradually falling in decay. I believe there are plans to demolish and build flats.

Skidby Mill, near Cottingham
Yorkshire's last working windmill, built in 1821 and recent renovated. There's a museum of East Riding Rural Life and it's a popular tourist attraction though when I went it was deserted.
There's a website here, panoramic photos of the mill exterior here and similar of the interior here.

When the wind is in the East...
...'tis neither good for man nor beast.
This weather vane is atop the Victorian Conservatory in Pearson Park.

Norwood House, Beverley
This is Norwood House, a most impressive Grade 1 listed Georgian building. After a many years as a residence it became a high school for girls until 2000. It was sold recently by the East Riding Council after years of dithering and against the wishes of many who wished to restore it and make it open to the public. I believe it has planning permission for development as offices. As we all know there is a shortage of offices and far too many Grade1 listed buildings.

The eleventh twelfth of a weariness....
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, - November!
