The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) Link was formed in 1847. The line between Grimsby and New Holland opened on 1 March 1848. A pier 1,500 feet (460 m) in length had been provided at New Holland, which was the terminal of a ferry service to Kingston upon Hull. The rails continued to the extremity of the pier. The ferry plied this route from 1825 (by the MS&LR from 1848) until superseded by the Humber Bridge in 1981.

The company’s office in Kingston upon Hull was constructed in Nelson Street, a stone’s throw from Corporation Pier. It is dated 1880 and has the initials of the company on the shaped pediment. It is probably the only railway station without a railway. Now Pier Hall, the building has been converted into flats.

Corporation Pier, constructed in 1810, was parallel to the mainland but not directly connected to it. It was converted to a T-shaped pier in 1847. It was the terminus of the Hull to New Holland ferry, initially run by the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway and later by the LNER and British Rail, until the service ended in 1981 due to the opening of the Humber Bridge. It was renamed Victoria Pier in 1854 in honour of Queen Victoria consequential of her visit to the town. A railway booking office, latterly named Hull Victoria Pier, was established here circa 1849 by the MS&LR, and closed on 25 June 1981 with the cessation of the ferry service. The pier has been altered several times. A floating pontoon was added in 1877 and removed in 1980; an upper Promenade was added in 1882, and removed in the mid-20th century. Wikipedia: Link
