RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 16, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think I can answer that question in Mick’s absence. The signal in that photo’ is actually the up starter and never had a distant arm added for Flemingate. The down starter had a distant arm, but I’m not sure of the date it was added to it. And thank you, Mick, for the correction regarding the date when the section of line through Botanic Gardens closed down. Unfortunately I took the information from Ben’s caption without cross checking it. I will cross check such captions from now on. Best regards, Rob.

Hull Paragon Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've had a look at Google Earth for the view as shewn by Mike's picture of the track work into 7 section adjacent to Montague Meyer's wood yard is but a memory, in that area, now a part of a "trading estate".There is nothing to be seen,. The only rails in the area, are those coming under the Hessle Road flyover, and climbing up to "Tin can" bridge. That only remains because it crosses over the other example of track in the area, with the access to Tarmac's depot, adjacent to Dairycoates loco shed. That involves three points only and could be out of use now. Regarding poor old Dairycoates East box, it could not even die gracefully. I was desperate for a job in the sixes at one point and a friend got me in at the North Eastern Gas Board. They readily employed me when they discovered my digging skills gained with the S & T dept. The gang I was with was sent to find a leak, around the heap of bricks that was the remains of the said box. There was indeed a very strong smell of gas and after some very careful digging, we exposed a battered meter which had been forgotten, buried! We had to cut it off, make it safe and report back. I have seen some useful archive maps of Hull on the Old Maps website oldmaps.co.uk......maybe if you search for Dairycoates on the site you might find an archive rail map. They are small but comprehesive..... Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

micknich2003 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Simon, here's the Beverley signalling, you had things wrong way round, though pre-1935 there would have been a Flemingate Distant. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted November 17, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2018 Something rather different tonight. A piece of railwayana from Beverley station, which was recently auctioned. It’s a sign, that was hung up, giving the destination and intermediate station details for one of the services to York via Market Weighton. It’s of BR origin, and makes a splendid sight in the NER’s tangerine. Best regards, Rob. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull Paragon Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I hope these might be of some interest. They are pictures I took in (I think) 1989 when I went into Hull Paragon and discovered a TV programme being filmed. There was a steam loco in the end platform....could have been a preserved Southern Region engine. I don't know what the programme was called but I did see it when it was broadcast!

DOCJACOB Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Wasn’t that a Ferreo Rocher advert and City of Wells? Worked in Hull Royal Infirmary around that time and had clear view of the lines at back of hospital from accommodation block. Stunned one evening when seem to recall City of Wells headed past.

DougN Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 As we say at work, just needed a lie down for a bit. I prefer it not be a crane, concrete pump or any other equipment on my building sites. Mick the talk sounds wonderful, I could really do with a heap of architectural information but from this side of the earth it is a bit difficult with time and money to make it!

Willerby Halt Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 H&BRly Class G2 No68 at Barchard's Lane following a "Run Away" from Springhead shed yard, February 1909. The engine was soon "Mended" and put back to traffic and survived to become LNERly 2449. G2 No68 February 1909.jpg Hello Mick, I've been 'lurking' on this forum for a while now and have reminisced fondly looking at your posts and pictures of Hull and surrounding areas, however your mention of Barchards prompted me into corresponding. I lived on Willerby Road/Derringham Bank from 1964 (aged 3) through to 1984 and spent many happy childhood hours exploring the then redundant/rusting, but still in-situ Springhead sidings, (up to Springhead Lane bridge) Calvert Lane bridges and the H&BR alignment further towards town. As you can imagine I was also born just too late to appreciate the end of steam and experience travel on the Victoria Dock Branch lines to Hornsea and Withernsea, however I do recall steam locos traversing Botanic crossing on my way to and from town on the bus. As a young lad my mates and I always used to refer to the area where the sheds still stood in the 1960's (next to where 'B Batch Group Shopfitting' currently stands on Spring Bank West) as Barchards (wood yard). I'm interested to know as to what extent did Barchards property extended over the area west of Calvert Lane and where exactly (based on modern landmarks) the Class G2 No68 derailed in your photo. Many thanks in advance for any information and recollections you may have on this area. Best Chris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
