We begin our tour of Hull's Western Docks at the Hull & Barnsley Railway's Neptune Street Goods Depot.
This view is of the Neptune Street depot in the 1930s and shows the Subway signal box, the only known photo of it (Thanks to Mick Nicholson).
Here's a bird's eye view of the westernmost dock, St. Andrews. Both NER and H&BR sidings are seen. The dock is full of trawlers and most of Hull's fish was landed here.
LNER 561 shunts St Andrews Dock in 1931.

Albert Dock in 1925.
Alongside Albert Dock was Riverside Quay, used by passenger rail services meeting immigrants.

Leaving the western docks behind, we head north through the built up area to Anlaby Road, where we find another tram route.
Anlaby Road traversed the NER's line into Hull Paragon station by this busy level crossing, since replaced by a flyover.
On the eastern side of today's flyover is the main depot of East Yorkshire Motor Services (EYMS).
The city of Hull once had several pubs owned by Darley's Brewery of Thorne. The King Edward VII, on Anlaby Road, was one of them. (Photographer unknown).
The next post will see us in Hull city centre with its bus and railway stations.
