Trolleys are loaded on to the deck of the MV Farringford at New Holland prior to the 15.15 sailing to Hull Corporation Pier. Close examination of the boxes packed on to the first trolley appears to indicate that they were boxes of lettuce. Small-scale traffic such as this would hardly be cost-effective back in 1981 or now for that matter however, in terms of localism, it makes much sense if, for example, it was going to retailers in Hull and other parts of East Yorkshire.
