A look along the course of the East Lincolnshire Main Line between Louth and Alford using a combination of contemporary images from Google Street View, and some from my archives. An extract from a well-worn Bradshaw's 1950 map showing the railways in the area. Gradient Profile of the Northern Section.of the East Lincolnshire Main Line (from "British Main Line Gradient Profiles"). STEWTON LANE LEVEL CROSSING An extract from the Ordnance Survey 1: 25,000 map (1957) which shows the position of the Level Crossing on the East Lincolnshire Main Line.
