EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News on the 15th of April, 1848, captures a significant moment in the history of transportation in England. The scene depicts passengers on the south shore of the Humber River, eagerly boarding a small steamer to continue their rail journey from a station on the north bank. The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company proposed building a pier at the site to expedite the embarkation process, which is visible in the background. The Humber River estuary was a formidable barrier to rail travel at the time, requiring passengers to disembark and transfer to a ferry or steamer to cross. The railway companies recognized the need for a more efficient solution, leading to the construction of piers and the use of steamers to transport passengers and goods across the estuary. The image shows a bustling scene of activity on the south shore, with passengers and their luggage gathered on the pier, ready to board the steamer. The steamer, with its sails unfurled, is positioned in the foreground, ready to depart. The pier, still under construction, can be seen in the background, with workers and machinery busy at work. This engraving is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the railway companies to overcome the challenges posed by geography and to provide a more seamless transportation experience for their passengers. The New Holland Ferry on the Humber River marked an important step in the development of the railway network in England, enabling passengers to travel further and faster than ever before.
