Corporation Pier, constructed in 1810, was parallel to the mainland but not directly connected to it. It was converted to a T-shaped pier in 1847. It was the terminus of the Hull to New Holland ferry, initially run by the Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway and later by the LNER and British Rail, until the service ended in 1981 due to the opening of the Humber Bridge. It was renamed Victoria Pier in 1854 in honour of Queen Victoria consequential of her visit to the town. A railway booking office, latterly named Hull Victoria Pier, was established here circa 1849 by the MS&LR, and closed on 25 June 1981 with the cessation of the ferry service. The pier has been altered several times. A floating pontoon was added in 1877 and removed in 1980; an upper Promenade was added in 1882, and removed in the mid-20th century. Wikipedia: Link
