There were two stations at New Holland - New Holland Town, serving
the small town, and New Holland Pier,
serving the Humber Ferry. This is a drivers eye view of New Holland
Town station signalbox

A view of the junction at New Holland Town station in 1981. The track
to the left goes to Grimsby & Cleethorpes
whilst the track on the right goes to Barton on Humber. There is a
chord avoiding New Holland near the warehouses,
and this is where the present station platform is located - Town
& Pier stations are now given over to industry.

A drivers eye view of New Holland Pier station. The platforms
extended the length of the pier and New Holland Town
station can be seen in the distance. Cars for the ferry were driven
along the right hand side platform.

The entrance to the floating pontoon which led to the ferry at New Holland Pier station - possibly early 1960s.
It was a short walk from the platform to mv "Farringford" which ran
the service in the final years after taking over
from the paddle steamers.
