The railway steamers of the
Associated Humber Lines were regular visitors to the Humber Dock. The
ships loaded manufacturing goods for the outward bound leg of their voyage
to the continent and returned with fresh produce for the nearby local
markets. People walking past the sheds of Humber Dock would encounter
the wonderful aroma of bacon and fresh fruit and vegetables. In this 1950's
scene facing south down the dock are Associated Humber Line vessels ss
Melrose Abbey, ss Bury, and ss Harrogate.
