History of Hull : Railways, Episode 2 - The Hull and Holderness Railway

A journey along the remains and through the history of the old Withernsea Branch line that linked Hull and South Holderness.

   • Withernsea To Hull By Train 1957  

A cine film shot in the 1950s from the cab of a diesel multiple unit travelling along the Withernsea Branch all the way from Withernsea. Towards the end, it is also travelling along the Victoria Dock Branch Line, so you can have a peek at what these railways used to look like back in the day!

If you're anything like me, viewing historical Ordnance Survey maps side by side with modern satellite views will certainly eat up far too much of your time!
