New Holland is a village, civil parish and port on the Humber estuary in North Lincolnshire, England.
[3][4] In 1870-1872 John Marius Wilson described the village in his Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales:[5] HOLLAND (NEW), a sea port village in Barrow-upon-Humber parish, Lincoln; on the river Humber, and on the Grimsby and Sheffield Junction railway, opposite Hull, 4 miles E by N of Barton-upon-Humber.
The pop[ulation] in 1851, was 401, and was then rapidly increasing.New Holland is the former embarkation point for the London & North Eastern Railway's ferry service to Victoria Pier, Kingston upon Hull.
New Holland Pier, with berths for three ships, is capable of accommodating larger vessels through its location in the deeper part of the channel.
Since the early 1980s it has been used for the import and export of bulk cargo between the UK and parts of Scandinavia and Europe, the Black Sea and North Africa.
