Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, Kingston upon Hull
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 The ferry plied this route from 1825 (by the MS&LR from 1848) until superseded by the Humber Bridge in 1981.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.
