Contiental Europe through Zeeland : publicity folder : Dell Leigh : London & North Eastern Railway : nd [c.1930] : title page

            An unusually anonymous publicity folder but issued by the London & North Eastern Railway advertising its Harwich (Parkeston Quay) summer only steamer ferry service to Flushing/Vlissingen in Zeeland. Written by Dell Leigh (better known as author E.P. Leigh Bennett) it describes the many charms of Zeeland "the picturesque province of Holland" and its "old-world towns, villages and quaint customs" that were worthy of a break of journey during a trip via this route onwards into Contiental  Europe. 

The route was operated alongside the Stoomvaart Maatschappij Zeeland - the Zeeland Steamship Company - who in 1927 made an agreement with the LNER to transfer their Vlissingen - Tilbury service to Harwich. Suspended during WW2 the route was not restored in post-war years due to damage to facilities at the Dutch port and the Harwich route was increasingly concentrated on the Hook of Holland/Hoek van Holland services.
