History of the Humber Ferry Part One: The Humber Ferries

Part one of a three part mini series about the old Humber Ferry, the industrial village it spawned on the south bank of the Humber at New Holland, and the paddle steamers that ran it in its final years. This episode looks at the history of Humber crossings in general, and how one, the New Holland Ferry, became the main Humber ferry!

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!
