Description: | PRN 13609
A cottage was built for a gate keeper at Tattershall Road crossing after an unfortunate accident on January 29th 1849. The keeper and his dog were unfortunately consumed by fire after the keeper's home-made temporary hut, fashioned from railway sleepers, caught fire. The cottage is built to a standardised design that appears on all manned crossings on the Boston to Firsby stretch of the ELR, fourteen cottages in all. The basic design was L-shaped with one arm of the L parallel to the railway, two storeys and built of red brick with roof tiles. {1}{2} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1850 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
