Boston to Spalding - What Remains?

-
The easy answer to what remains of this section is "very little", as the majority of the trackbed now lies under the main A16 road. However, odd bits and reminders to it are still to be found today (Images: Google Street View).

The Railway public house located on London Road in Boston once stood close to the level crossing. Now the A16 which can be seen on the left.
The site of Kirton Station. The remains of the station were completely obliterated when the road was constructed, the only reminder to it ever being there is the sign for Station Road, which leads off to the right.
One remarkable survivor is Algakirk & Sutterton Station complete with Goods Shed.
Surfleet was less fortunate and, like Kirton, completely gone except for the entrance to the Goods Yard.
Looking toward the location of the station, the A16 on the right runs along the former railway line.
The Riverside pub on the right, was formerly the Great Northern Hotel. On the left of the front of the car park was where the signalbox was located.
The point where the A16 leaves the former trackbed and heads left to skirt Spalding. The line continued directly ahead through where the trees are. The aerial view (Google Earth) clarifies this.
On the outskirts of Pinchbeck and the site of the former level crossing with the B1180, the Crossing Keeper's house is still extant.
The former trackbed is also quite clear at this point. Looking north, this section did remain open to freight until 1980 to serve the British Sugar Factory. It was lifted 2 years later.
Unfortunately, in the opposite direction, the trackbed has been redeveloped.
Looking at an aerial view, the bridge which carried the line over Vernatt's Drain is still there.
In Spalding, the crossing house on Pinchbeck Road still exists, the trackbed running on the right is now a footpath.
Unfortunately, in the opposite direction looking towards Spalding Station, the trackbed is now very overgrown.

Remains of the Mablethorpe - Louth Railway

-
Image
The single track branch railway from Louth was the first to reach Mablethorpe, opened on the 17th October 1877 by the Louth & East Coast Railway Company. Diverging south of Louth on the main East Lincolnshire Railway at Mablethorpe Junction,  there were intermediate stations at Grimoldby, Saltfleetby, and Theddlethope. Further south, the Sutton & Willoughby Railway Company opened their line from Willougby on the East Lincolnshire Line to Sutton-on-Sea on 4th October 1866. This was subsequently extended to join the L&EC Railway's line at Mablethorpe on 14th September 1888. Thus forming the complete loop as illustrated in the British Rail map above. The course of the Mablethorpe to Louth section is shown, when open, from the One Inch Ordnance Survey Map extracts below. This early view looks North from Mablethorpe (LEYTR Collection). A later view of Mablethorpe also looking North (LEYTR Collection) A c

Havenhouse - as seen on TV

-
Image
It may not have many trains stopping there now, yet Havenhouse has a claim to fame in making appearances in the third series of the BBC Drama series, Nanny. Filmed in 1982, it was broadcast to the Nation the following year. The opening shots show passengers leaving the station. A steam train can be heard departing - not seen as it was added by the BBC Sound Effects department. The Up Platform shelter can be seen in the background. Note the white markings. The episode was set in November 1940 and the markings would have provided guidance to the locations of doors and exits during wartime blackouts. The actress Wendy Craig played the main character. Here we see her leaving the station. The signs on the wall were props, probably replicas. Wendy is picked up at the station. Through the windscreen we can see the tree lined approach road to Havenhouse. Wendy Craig and other cast members on the "up" platform.

Then & Now: Sleaford Junction Signalbox, Boston

-
Image
The very tall signalbox at Sleaford Junction towered above the properties on King Street. It controlled the locomotive and goods yard and the junction where the line from Sleaford joined the East Lincolnshire Main Line. Opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1875, it was lengthened in 1897. With the reduction of sidings in the goods yard, the 40 levers were reduced to 30 in 1972. Eventually the Box was closed completely on 19th May 1974, being replaced by a ground frame as the number of siding had been reduced yet again as the amount of goods traffic had diminished. The structure remained in place until its demolition in 1980. My photo shows it a few months before it was denolished and minus its name board (wonder if that still exists in somebody's collection?). A contrasting modern day Google Street View image is shown beneath, the location of the Box being at the end of King Street. A map of the area. Note the footbridge close by which once gave access to
