Description: | PRN 13454
The station at Kirton was built in 1848, except for the booking office, which was rebuilt after 1903. It was on the Great Northern Railway's 'Lincolnshire loop line'. The buildings were still occupied in 1966 but were demolished by 1995. The buildings were mainly of red brick, with one passenger waiting room of timber with brick piers. By 1966 the goods yard was owned by Walter Woodthorpe as a coal depot. It comprised a station master's house, waiting room, booking office, goods shed and signal box. The line was closed in 1970. The line of the railway from Boston to Spalding eventually became the new route of the A16, opened in 1994. {1} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1848 - 1995 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
