Hi all!!!
I am interested in LNER locations where shipping and railways both combine. Does anyone have or can suggest where I could find a track plan or some photos of the Riverside Quay Station in Hull??? Or could you suggest similar locations?

Thanks

Riverside Quay, Albert Dock had at one time, when the AHL Abbey boats were running, in the 1950/60's a small passenger terminal from memory.It was at the very end next to the Customs House. But don't think passenger trains came down in those days.
Only thing seen were freight wagons at various sheds when suitable rail cargoes needed moving.
If anybody has information prior to this period please update this piece.!

The NERA Express has a couple of items that may be of interest.
Vol 50 No. 204 has, The Emigrant waiting room of the NER at Hull Paragon St, which includes a bit on Island Wharf station which was between the entrances to Albert and Humber docks...no track plan.
Vol 52 No. 212 has, Official opening of Hull Joint Dock (King George dock), pics and plan.

Hope this helps. there could be more but I just happen to have these at work.

The National library of Scotland has a zoomable 1911 six inch map of the area available on line (http://maps.nls.uk/view/101586878) which shows the quay station and track layout of the facilities.

Not specifically just for Hull, but what a superb resource!
I've been trying to find more about the Durham-Bishop Auckland Branch, and here it all is!
I was going to make a trip to the Durham County Record Office, but I'll need to have a good look at this first!

Thank you very much for the link!

You should treat maps like that as a representation of the track layout - they are never particlarly accurate. 1:2500 maps are better and can be found at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/ but you will have to shake the moths out of your wallet to see the maps at maximum quality (which in some cases isn't particularly good).

Better still, you can get down to 1 to 1,250 scale for Edinburgh and London - see, e.g. http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=19 ... layers=170.

At this scale I reckon you could use these maps as a basis for reconstruction of a prototype layout using a software tool such as Templot.
