About four and a half miles out they stopped at a station called Hassle, then a couple of miles farther their perseverance was rewarded and they saw a small pier and shed, the latter bearing in large letters on its roof the name of the syndicate. Another mile and a half brought them to Ferriby, where they alighted. "Now what about walking back to Hassle," Hilliard suggested, "and seeing what we can see?" They followed the station approach road inland until they reached the main thoroughfare, along which they turned eastwards in the direction of Hull. In a few minutes they came in sight of the depot, half a mile off across the fields. A lane led towards it, and this they followed until it reached the railway. from Ferriby to Main Road * Fields * * * * * * * * *_*| * * [_]Ackroyd & Holt's * cottage[] | * Lane * | | Railway * * * * * * * * * * * * * | | to Hull |
