Hello and Welcome to ALW Research Team. This is episode two of the Hull and Barnsley Series. For episode one see the link in the description box.
Episode One; • Hull & Barnsley Railwa...
A Rival railway company to the then well-established Hull to Selby Railway.
With its own Goods Terminus and Dock facilities the Hull and Barnsley Railway opened on 20 July 1885.
Initially struggling to get passenger numbers, freight saved the railway with coal exports from Yorkshires deep mines. Pits were expanding underground, they required timber and pit props, which were imported to the alexander dock and transported back to the mines in the empty coal trucks.
Also, wool imports to clothing and carpet mills, made the new railway busy and prosperous.
Passenger numbers eventually increased, so much so that the Cannon Street Goods Terminus was expanded with facilities for members of the public to alight.
We’re going to continue where we left off in episode one at Beverley Road, moving on to Maple Street. Lets Go!
This is the embankment and cuttings from kirkella up to Riplingham Road, the rail over road bridge there is still intact, which will be the start point of our next episode. Please Subscribe and Share. Thank you for watching this ALW Research Team video.
This entire yard was used for exporting coal by the Hull and Barnsley Railway. After closure a local scrap merchant used this area to cut up steam locomotives from all over the nation until the 1970’s when it was converted into cold storage.

Hiding in plain sight, it's knowing where to look. Good research by the team here 👍

[@ALWResearchTeam]

Hello Anthony, thank you very much :)

[@john-pu5uy]

Loving the Channel Gents... also love the fact you get stuck in and walk the embankments and such like.... When you see others saying OH NO i may get a nettle sting it kinda defeats the objectives... Well done lads KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT

[@ALWResearchTeam]

Glad you enjoy it :)

Sweet, childish memory.......As kids we decided to find the H&B line, so starting from Willerby we rode from where the station was and headed north west but quickly came to a halt due to private land sign and fencing. So we set off on a road in a north west direction for perhaps a mile, stopped and set up an old telescope we'd brought (as you do when you're kids) and looked across the fields towards where we thought the railway was. Incredibly I saw the 5 arch viaduct. With great excitement we rode towards it. Some walkers were being chased by a car across the viaduct, they'd ignored the sign. After the car drove away, we got onto the railway and soon rode into a deep chalk cutting. Then over a small road bridge then into another deep cutting. We arrived at a station and had no idea where we were. So we rode into the village, went into the shop and asked the shop keeper. Little Weighton. We lived on OPE and back at high school we learnt rather embarrassingly that it was common knowledge that we had found 5 arches located just beyond Cottingham. Strange twist: My wife and I started a training business in Rugby called Westfield training. If you click the logo you will see what we're up to now in Canada.

The Cannon St passenger terminus was plan B. The original terminus was to be in Kingston Square where the New Theatre stands but they ran out of money to reach the city centre which would have meant demolishing houses along the route. So as a stop gap they built a wooden station at Cannon St hoping to extend south when funds allowed.

Nice one buddy

Thank You Mike Sir :)

[@TechTier_]

its interesing how such a major thing becomes covered over and blended into the surroundings and kinda of forgotten about.

[@ALWResearchTeam]

Yeah it’s mad. Some areas there is no sign of the railway at all

[@missb5440]

Never knew what a viaduct was till i stumbled across one near me, called fledborough viaduct oh my goodness they are beautiful in person, good old fashioned craftsmanship.

[@ALWResearchTeam]

Hello MissB, they certainly are! The energy and skill of the Navvies is incredible. thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@anthonydefreitas6006]

I believe Trekking & Exploration has a video on that Viaduct.

Brilliant Video as always i cannot wait until you reach stairfoot in barnsley my home and see all the hidden and disused lines one tunnel is buried my dad told me when walking along the old lines it was called the barnsley merry go round they could shut one line down but the trains would always get to where they wanted around barnsley i think you will love stairfoot when you get here pal HST TWO was going to come through stairfoot and im pretty sure through where the old tunnel is buried under the hill at the back of stairfoot the residents were worried about the noise the drilling would make buddy barnsley is a haven of old railway walks its brilliant lots of history and you will enjoy it thanks for the quality channel and videos realy educational interesting and most of all where we came from and what we are about

The Springhead halt part.. until recently i would say around 5-10 years where summerbridge doors is now the other side of the banking was still there only the bridge was missing you can even go on google maps to see it but the whole area of anlaby shopping center was developed into a massive retail space during the 2010's taking part of it out and then that new part of summerbridge removed what was left so the part you say was dumped on the other side isnt right that mound has probably been there since the railway was built i used to play on it during the 80s riding my bike down it. Also the calvert lane bridge was actually still up until mid 2000's it got removed and houses built on one side but on the other side its partially still there and the tracks was still there leading up to the bridge last time i went maybe 10-15 years ago and probably still are now under the bushes ect nothing has changed in that area it's kind of a lost void. Agian if you go back in time on google maps you can see it all while it was up.

[@ALWResearchTeam]

Thanks for the info Rob. I can remember the bridges being in place in the 80’s

[@jameskirton4469]

There’s a bridge on calvart land The reminds of a bridge all the brick is left If you’d walk further down

[@ALWResearchTeam]

Hello, yes we filmed the Calvert lane bridges but they didn’t make it into the edit.

The extra spikey ones are very troublesome!

Hi I live down Springhead and I’m sure there’s a platform type structure near the waterworks. I’ll post a photo on instagram and tag you.

Hi Shaun, ooh yes thanks :)
