A lovely concrete signal post is seen at New Holland Town. I recall from this visit in 1981 how ancient the railway infrastructure felt in this North Lincolnshire bywater. There was also an air of general decay compounded by the imminent closure of the railway that is seen in this image running along the pier connecting with the Humber Ferry. This closure was precipitated by the opening of the Humber bridge that would take place less than a week after this photograph was taken.
