The final approach to Hull Corporation Pier reveals a more substantial structure than New Holland Pier on the southern side of the Humber. A number of interesting things are waiting to greet MV Farringford as it approaches. The British Rail Commer PB flatbed van already has its tailgate lowered ready to collect items from the ferry. There is a group of crew members at the far end of the pier waiting to pick up the ropes thrown to them and secure Farringford to the pier head. Also, notice the man and women standing near the Commer van, the man is holding what appears some sort of cine or possibly a video camera and is filming MV Farringford as it approaches. I can't help but wonder if this historic piece of film still exists in some collection somewhere?
