Spurn Point Battery was built to defend ports along the Humber. It was constructed in 1915 to contain four 4.7-inch weapons. In 1916 two further 9.2-inch guns were installed but this later became a separate site called Green Battery. At the outbreak of the Second World War the battery gained two 12 pounder guns mounted on the beach in front of the battery in event of torpedo-boat attacks. The battery and its armament was significantly modified by 1941. In early 1940 the 4.7-inch guns were repositioned and replaced with two 6-inch guns. The 4.7-inch guns were removed completely in April 1941 and exchanged for 4-inch weapons. From August 1940 the battery's armament gained a further 4-inch gun mounted near the battery guard room, though this was removed in February 1941. In September 1940 the 12 pounder guns were exchanged for a pair of 6 pounder weapons. The battery was retained for permanent use after the Second World War and was demilitarised in 1959.
