Full Description
A railway station which was probably built in 1848 when the Louth to Firsby railway line was opened. The railway station acted as a railhead for the construction of RAF Strubby during the Second World War and was eventually closed in 1961. {1}{2} The old railway station is now a residential dwelling which is mostly two storeys high, with some parts being only one storey high. The building is constructed of red brick with white render and has white uPVC windows. The gabled roof appears to have concrete tiles and there are two red brick chimney stacks. A red letterbox is built in to the wall of the northwestern façade. {2}
