A derilict Springhead, and not long before demolition.

My Dad was part of the demolition gang that pulled all these buildings down.  I did read somewhere that the original intention was to convert them to private industrial use; but vandals had caused too much damage.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see WD, Austerity, 2-8-0, 90478, along with a second unidentifiable class mate near the coaling stage at Dairycoates, in circa 1966.
 

Best regards,

Springbank North signalbox, October 1964, a much younger me at rthe window.

The actual location of this photo' is unknown, but certainly it portrays the look of several early Saxby & Farmer signalboxes as used in the Hull area.

[Market65]

Good evening, and thank you, Mick, for posting those two photo’s, especially the second one of the early Saxby and Farmer signalbox. 
 

Now, this evening, with thanks once again to John Turner, on Flickr, we see Inter-City 125 HST, 43047, Rotherham Enterprise, leading, as it approaches Hull Paragon with an express from London Kings Cross, on the 23rd April, 1984.

Hello Mick, do you have any idea where this shot was taken from? Are the houses in the background in East Ella or Spring Bank West? I remember these buildings as a child in the mid 60s.

Great shot Mick. What passenger service would this be?

It was an October 1964 RCTS tour, covered most of Hull and the Withernsea Branch.

An early view of Anlaby Road (Hull) crossing, looking to the town centre.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Mick, for that excellent photo’ of Anlaby Road crossing from early days. That is a horse tram going over the crossing isn’t it?

 

Now, firstly, a further update regarding the footbridge at Beverley station. I have been informed, by the lovely lady in the booking office, that it is due to be completed by mid October. Whether that date is kept is another matter. Anyway, here’s a photo’ which I took earlier today, and it can be seen that jet blasting is currently underway. Apparently the top of the bridge will be blasted at night. 
 

 

Now, let’s see a photo’ by John Turner and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we are seeing Gresley V3 2-6-2T, 67684, whilst it stands in Brough station with an all stations 5:15pm local service to Hull Paragon station, in about 1963.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Rob, yes a horse tram and single line with passing places. The electric trams came in 1899 and pressumably at the same time the much bigger level crossing as we knew it up to 1964 when the flyover was opened.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Mick, for confirming that, in that photo’ of Anlaby Road crossing the vehicle seen is a horse tram. 

 

Well, this evening, with thanks once again to John Turner, and Peter Brumby, on Flickr, we are seeing Gresley V3 2-6-2T, 67684, once more, this time as it departs Brough station with the 5:15 non-stop fast service to Hull, in c1963. Note the BR Mkl TSO which is the first carriage.
 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see the high-rise flats on Great Thornton Street dominating this view of Hull Paragon, with ex-works 08885, on pilot duties, on the 18th April, 1984.
 

Best regards,

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see Dairycoates B1 4-6-0, 61065, as it trips a load of Presflos and chalk hoppers through Hessle from Hessle Quarry into Hull, on the 1st February, 1964.

43131, Driffield early '60's. E Bay buy, and with copyright.

The covered footbridge can still be seen at Beverley - though only now as an image on the side of the Hull Trains' units.   Here the Amy Johnson set prepares to work back to Hull on the evening of 24/7/23 having just arrived from London.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, thank you, Mick, for that superb photo’ of Flying Pig, 43131, at Driffield, in the early 1960’s. It’s quite a sight covered in filth and muck!

 

This evening, thanks to John Turner, on Flickr, we see 03073 busying itself as station pilot at Hull Paragon, on the 3rd September, 1981.
 

 

Best regards,

I remember seeing this loco on Speedlink yard pilot duties in 1984; it didn't stay for very long before being transferred away.
