Public (rail) footbridge - Holderness Road, Hull

[normandiebelle]

Hello,
Does anyone know if there was a public overhead (rail) footbridge on Holderness Road, Hull in the 1960's?. If there was would anyone have any idea where I could find a photograph?
Many thanks in advance.

  Many thanks for the response. More pictures that I can shake a stick at  I have found a photo there of a church, St Marys in Hull which is now demolished. One of my ancestors was married there and I only ever had a church name - now have a photo to go with it. Again, thanks for your time.
Regards.

Hi,
I used to cycle from west Hull to Thomas Street and also East Park on Holderness Road in the 1950's but I don't recall a footbridge.

Maybe the people who run this website could help?

 :)Another big thank you for the website and I found something there which indicates that I am on the right track...just perhaps I had not explained  it correctly, for example and I quote...
The site of Southcoates station looking north in October 2005. In the shot looking north, the railway trackbed ran approximately through the traffic lights (the site of the level crossing on Holderness Road)  
Its the 'site of the level crossing on Holderness Road' that I am looking for a photo of.
Again, many thanks for all your time

I surfed for your railway footpath and didn't find a photo.  But the map on the link that I gave shows there were 2 places where railway lines crossed over Holderness Road.  One was a level crossing and the other was a rail bridge over the road. It's a pity the map didn't name any minor roads which could have been an added aid when googling.

Anyway, thanks for the question which led me to the sub station site because I found a photo of Botanic Station on Spring Bank in west Hull.   I have many happy childhood memories of being part of the throng taking a day trip to either Withernsea or Hornsea.

Good luck,
Rena

Hi,
As far as I can remember (but I'll check with the oracle when he wakes up) the rail bridge that crossed Holderness Road is near to Craven Street and carries the line to the docks, the level crossing is a short distance west and crossed Holderness Road close to where Mount Pleasant is nowadays.
