I don’t know that area too well, but nevertheless, an interesting video.
As a sort of topical aside, the building to the right was Allam's shipbuilding yard, where they built many of the cruisers used on the Nile. He bought what has now become the car park with the expectation that it would be needed for the upgrades to the junction, as he felt the Council would need the land if/when they built a roundabout he expected was required.
I saw a brief extract from a programme on C4 about George Hudson, the other day....I never knew Hull had a railway station on the marina side of Castle Street. Infact the railway line tracks are still in the cobbles..
It was only a goods yard I think. Neptune Street?
That's a different one to the Neptune St yard. The one that was near Marina serviced the Fruit Trade down Humber St. I've lifted many bags of onions from it when I worked there in my youth.
I thought he said 'Manor Street' and it was a passenger terminal for a while, but I must admit I only caught bits and pieces, so your probably more accurate than me.
A few of my old mates worked down there...Dave Watson..Alan Kemp, plus a few more whose names I can't recall...I recall going for a job down there, working in the office. Pleased I never got it...6am start...I never knew there were two 6 o'clocks in a day before I went for the interview.
The first passenger terminal in Hull was at Humber Dock, it was called Manor House Street Station and opened in 1840.

what was that programme called?? Sure it was on the bbc so will be on I player
Right after school I gave my Engineering apprenticeship up like a ****ing idiot!! Next was working for National Carriers Limited down Kingston Street which used to be a part of British Rail. The buildings we worked in was the old BR buildings, one called Inward Goods and the other Outward Goods. We had the rail wagons with the sliding doors and the open wagon coming in with goods to be emptied, my job was to collect the tickets off the sides as they rolled in then record them in a ledger. If any of the blokes were off sick or on holiday i'd do their job on mens pay until their return. It was still pretty much run on British Rail ways, we was in National Railwaymen Union and still got so many rail tickets. If you wanted to learn to drive you had to go by rail (free of charge) to Leeds where they had a driving school. I took advantage of this and took lessons in Leeds daily for a week then on the Friday took my driving test in Darlington where they had their own examiners.
I don't know when the site shut down because after driving for them for a few years I left to do another driving job.

Sorry, got the name of the Union wrong there, it's been a few years since I paid my dues.
It is of course National Union of Railwaymen. or the NUR.
Just having a wild stab in the dark here, but I'm guessing there's not too much going on with the stadium/ car park developments then?
