The village of Paull hasn't changed much in fifty years - something residents have praised as the 'bubble' has maintained its community parenting ethos, outdoor lifestyle and minimal internet usage.
But that could all be about to change as property developers have earmarked a former gun battery, known for its labyrinth of tunnels, for a future caravan park.
The gun museum was closed in January last year, making a dent in local trade. Meanwhile, plans for the new site were submitted to East Riding Council earlier this year, Hull Live reports.
Residents say they are happy with the village's atmosphere describing it as "quiet" and "like a time warp".
Right on a limb, branching off from the outskirts of the city whilst also being the last village on this side of the river before getting to Easington and Spurn Point, Paull is a place where two worlds collide.
Standing and looking towards the Humber estuary, you'd be forgiven for thinking you are in the middle of nowhere, but turn 180 degrees and you're facing the rest of the city directly in the shadows of Saltend chemical plant towers.
Hull Live spent a day speaking to locals to find out what life is like in this quiet spot, famed for its walks, lighthouses and of course, the now closed-down Fort Paull.
"Relaxed, comfortable and very calm are the words I would use to describe living here," said Richard Winstanley, who is landlord at the Royal Oak.
The pub is one of two on the village's Main Street, alongside the Humber Tavern. A third - The Crown - closed before the pandemic, with developers reportedly looking to turn it into housing.
Richard has run the Royal Oak for two-and-a-half years alongside his partner, Dharma Holmes, who both live in the village.
The couple described life here as being "like going back in time to the 1970s".
They explained: "The internet doesn't always work and it's extremely quiet, but people here are generally okay with that. Town is close enough, and Hedon is also close by."
"It's very community-focused," added Dharma.
"Everyone looks after each other. It's the kind of place where people will pop into the pub and say, 'I've just seen your kids playing down the road in case you were looking for them'."
Across the road from the pub is Paull Primary, which only has around 60 pupils.
Its headteacher, Paul Row, has been there for nearly 10 years.
His wife, Michelle Jennings, was playing in the park with their two daughters when Hull Live dropped by.
"The village is a very welcoming place," said Michelle, 42, who works as a health visitor. "Lots of the residents here pull together to raise money for the school."
Just a five minute walk out of the village centre takes you to the historic St Andrew's Church, which sits next to the entrance to former visitor attraction, Fort Paull.
Paull's main attraction now is Paull Holme, as well as its popularity with walkers, who have some of the region's most beautiful scenery on the doorstep.
Richard Bayliss moved to Paull almost a year ago from Leeds after taking early retirement from his stressful job in logistics.
He said now he'd "never look back", and loved the feeling of travelling "less than half a mile to be in the middle of nowhere".
Spurn Point is just 25 minutes from Paull, despite it being on the edge of Hull.
"It feels like everyone in Paull belongs to Paull," said Richard, 56.
Richard's back garden sits right on the banks of the Humber estuary, looking straight across to the Humber Bridge.
On a clear day, he says, he could happily sit there for hours just basking in the view, soaking in the silence and feeling truly on the edge of the world.
