Station Name: SCULCOATES
Wilmington Bridge.
This bridge opened on 7.5.1907 to replace the original 1853 single
line bridge. The bridge (and its predecessor) was originally called
Sculcoates Bridge and was renamed at a later date (possibly when Wilmington
replaced Sculcoates station in 1912). Although the controls are modern,
some of the original NER equipment remains in the control cabin. The
bridge has survived as it's construction stipulated the provision
of a pedestrian walkway, it is manned by Hull City Council and swung
open for river traffic at high tide when required.
