To the east of the A19 is Burn Airfield, built in 1942 as a bomber base in World War II. The airfield is now used by Burn Gliding Club, but may in the future be developed as the site of the European Spallation Source (ESS), a particle accelerator facility to generate neutrons by spallation. Outline planning permission for the ESS was conditionally granted by Selby District Council on 14 September 2005.
