The New Holland to Hull ferry was purchased by the Great Grimsby & Sheffield Junction Railway, in 1845, and the ferry service remained railway-owned until its demise coinciding with the opening of the Humber Bridge in June 1981. This is the story of the metamorphosis of a bleak, windswept and thinly populated area of North Lincolnshire, from fen and farmland into an important railway colony. Presented in A5 format, with 2-colour square-backed Linson cover, this book contains 104 pages, including 140 illustrations.
