A British Railways (E) enamel at New Holland station is seen hanging above a waiting room that was firmly shut! The station was a shadow of its former and rather grand self with it all but closed but for a ticket office. The whole station would be shut completely less than a week later with the opening of the Humber bridge that would precipitate the closure of the Humber ferry. I have said this before, but I always wonder where old signage went when a station was closed, I really hope that they were not simply put in a skip!
