New Holland and New Holland Pier: aerial 2025 (2)
Before 1803 there wasn't even a New Holland, but just the creek somewhat opposite Hull on the south bank of the Humber. A small ferry service started from the creek in 1825, in fact a front for smuggling goods, especially gin, and it was Hollands gin that gave impetus to the naming of the place.
After the opening of the Humber Bridge in June 1981 the ferry was decommissioned. New Holland Pier was taken over by New Holland Bulk Services, who started a grain and animal food import and export in 1984.

Barrow Road crossing signal box
This signal box dates from 1885 and controls the level crossing from where the picture has been taken . The Barton on Humber railway line is on the left , the rusty line on the right led onto the New Holland Pier which was a busy station until the Humber bridge opened. It then shut and is now used for industrial purposes as can be seen.No freight trains have used the link for some time.

Railway lines to New Holland Pier
Prior to the withdrawal of the Humber ferry service in 1981 the pier was the northern end of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway and formed a connection with the ferry to Kingston upon Hull. The lines are still there but I don't know if they ever used to transport any of the bulk cargoes that the pier now services.
