14th June 1973

The 12:57 service to Cleethorpes in New Holland Pier station on 14 June 1973. It was formed for the standard Class 114 DMU and on this was the closest vehicle was DMBS E50036. Robert Thomas.

circa 1979

A Cravens Class 105 DMU in New Holland Pier station, Lincolnshire, circa 1979. Seen awaiting departure for Barton-upon-Humber, the service probably originated from Cleethorpes. No date with the original slide, but with the other tracks having been lifted and the front end of the DMU having been rationalised, it likely to be between 1979 to June 1981 when the pier station closed upon opening of the Humber Bridge.

15th May 1979

New Holland Pier on 15/5/79. The station served an area of North Lincolnshire for ferry services across the Humber to Hull. Services ceased in August 1981, when the Humber Bridge was opened. A Class 114 sits in the station with a Cleethorpes service. The walkway is like a long platform with New Holland Town station. Stephen Burdett.

28th September 1980

Having travelled down the 1375ft long Pier from New Holland Pier Head, A Class 114 2-Car DMU formed of E56043 & E50001 in refurbished livery, stands at New Holland Town with a service to Cleethorpes on Sunday 28th September 1980. With the opening of the Humber Suspension Bridge in June 1981, and the subsequent withdrawal of the ferry service from New Holland Pier to Hull, the stations and the pier were all closed on June 24th 1981. Martyn Hilbert.

A refurbished Class 114 DMU formed of cars E56043 & E50001 arrives at New Holland Town with a service from Cleethorpes to New Holland Pier on September 28th 1980. There is much of interest in this view, including a pair of lower quadrant signals, the North to West curve towards Barton-On-Humber, Barrow Road Signal box and the level crossing giving vehicular access to the Pier and the ferry service across the Humber to Hull. Martyn Hilbert.

28th September 1980

In refurbished livery, A Class 114 2-Car DMU, formed of cars E50001 & E56043, waits to depart from a run-down looking New Holland Pier with a service to Cleethorpes on Sunday 28th September 1980. The linkspan connecting the station to the ferry landing stage can be seen to the right of the station building. A Morris Minor and a Mark 3 Ford Cortina are parked behind the buffer stops. In this period only one track was in situ at this end of the Pier. Martyn Hilbert.

28th September 1980

In refurbished livery, Class 114 two-car DMU formed of E50001 & E56043 was stood at a run-down looking New Holland Town with a service from New Holland Pier to Cleethorpes on Sunday September 28th 1980. The station here and the 1,375 Yard Pier and the station at the Pier Head (and the connecting ferry service across the River Humber to Hull) was closed some nine months after this image was recorded. The last day of service was June 1st 1981, commensurate with the opening of the Humber Suspension Bridge. This place was in a time-warp, with BR Eastern Region blue enamel signage and mechanical signalling including some lower quadrants. This was my one and only visit to New Holland Pier, and my regret is that I did not have a ride on the DMU, photograph the Ferry, or by a ticket as a souvenir. Martyn Hilbert.
