Man-made Landscape

Taken from the early morning flight from Amsterdam to Humberside, there is much to see of North Lincolnshire. Notably, of course, the site and gatehouse of Thornton Abbey, bottom left, but also clearly delineated through the village of East Halton the dead-straight railway line from Ulceby to Goxhill, thence with barely a deviation to New Holland. On the southern bank of the Humber we see the New Holland pier, once the haunt of paddle steamers and now a commercial freight operation run by New Holland Bulk Services Ltd. The city of Kingston-upon-Hull can be seen on the other side of the noble estuary.
