New Holland Town signal box (RSCo, 188X) & level crossing A reverse angle view of New Holland Town signal box with the crossing gates that permitted access for vehicles to the pier itself. Vehicle access to the pier enabled them to then join the Humber ferry that docked at the end of the pier. The box looks to be remarkably original with its finials, slate roof, and timber cladding. It is recognisable as a Railway Signalling Company (RSCo) structure but I cannot find a decisive date for its construction but I suspect that it would be very close to the nearby Barrow Road Crossing box date of 1885. As for the November 1972 registered Ford Escort, the DVLA records indicate that it had another six years on the road before the inevitable rust would have probably confined it to the scrap yard!
