HULL AND SELBY RAILWAY, a railway in E. R. Yorkshire; from Hull, westward, to Selby. It is 31 miles long, being 5 miles less than the road; it was opened in 1840; it was leased in 1845 to the York and North Midland, and afterwards to the Northeastern; it is connected, at Selby, with a line going westward to the Great Northern at Milford Junction, and with a line going east-north-eastward, past Market-Weighton, to the Scarborough and Hull at Beverley; and, in 1865, it was in the course of being connected at Staddlethorpe with a line, authorized in 1863, southwestward to the South Yorkshire at Thorne.
