Brocklesby
The closed station at Brocklesby, Lincolnshire, being passed by UK Railtours excursion from London St. Pancras to Cleethorpes on 7th May 2016. This station was opened by the Great Grimsby & Sheffield Junction Railway on 1st March 1848 and was closed on 3rd October 1993 at a time when rail and station closures were less enthusiastically pursued than in the devastating Beeching era. The station is situated at the west end of the triangle leading onto the Barton-Upon-Humber branch to which trains now only enter or leave via the eastern side running to and from Grimsby and Cleethorpes. The building is in a Mock Tudor style, designed with private rooms for the Company's directors and shareholders and is a Grade II Listed Building by English Heritage, despite the fact passengers last trod on its platforms more than a quarter of a century ago.
