Hull Cannon Street railway station was the passenger terminus in Hull of the Hull Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company, which was renamed in 1905 as the Hull and Barnsley Railway. It opened on 27 July 1885 and closed to passengers on 14 July 1924 after the London and North Eastern Railway had built the Spring Bank chord to Hull Paragon. It closed completely on 3 June 1968. The station was to have been a goods station with the passenger terminus a quarter of a mile south on Charlotte Street but with insufficient funds Cannon Street served both functions.[1]
