Road access to New Hollands stations was by Barrow Road Crossing.


By comparison: A photo from in Aug 2001 of the new wooden platformed New Holland station, situated almost
on the old avoiding chord. Barrow Road Crossing  and box is still in use for the remaining single line to Barton on Humber.
 New Holland Town station has been swept away to provide space for industry. The pier is still in use for bulk load shipping,
but whilst a rail link still exists it is no longer used.
