More about this scene

Newport grew rapidly with the arrival of the Market Weighton canal in the 18th century; it was the final loading place before crossing a short distance to the Humber. Transport links also increased when the Selby to Hull railway passed nearby at Broomfleet from 1840. Two of the nearest white cottages have gone, but essentially the scene is little changed today. The curious tall thin building behind the telegraph pole is the 1872 Loyal Gaskill Lodge of Oddfellows.
