Car deck, MV Farringford With the MV Farringford all loaded and secured it is preparing to set sail from New Holland Pier with the 15.15 service to Hull Corporation Pier. MV Farringford dated from 1947 being commissioned by the Southern Railway but actually handed over to the British Railways Board as nationalisation took place during the intervening period. It entered service on the Lymington to Yarmouth Isle of Wight route where it did stirling work until moving to the Humber route in 1977 with an overhaul and extensive hull replating taking place at a cost of £140,000 (today (2022) just over a million pounds) prior to entering service. The ferry stayed in continual operation apart from scheduled maintenance and the odd breakdown until a week after this photograph was taken when the crossing ceased with the opening of the Humber bridge.
