With the requisite Bardic lamp on the shelf along with various paperwork, the track diagram inside New Holland signal box is seen. The signalman kindly permitted Graham and I access to the box which was to close exactly a week later along with the line that led the short distance from here to the end of New Holland Pier. The line stretching to the bottom of the track diagram was the Barton-on-Humber branch that was temporarily out of use at this time in preparation for the new service offereed by BR to link up with busses that would carry passengers over the soon to opened Humber bridge in leiu of the Humber ferry.
