This is The Humber ferry PS Lincoln Castle of 1940. Served on the Hull - New Holland route until c1978 for British Railways and their successors. The last paddle steamer in regular service in the British Isles and coal fired until the end. Subsequently preserved in Hessle as a pub, she was regrettably broken up a few years ago back here in Grimsby. Her former consorts on the run, Wingfield Castle and Tattershall Castle of 1934 are still in existence,at Hartlepool and on the Thames respectively. |

I well remember my trip on the coal fired Lincoln Castle from Hull to New Holland and back. I think it was a winter's day and I had around a 100 mile each way car trip to get to Hull but it was well worth it. |
