Willoughby Revisited

A while back we did a feature of what remained of the former junction station at Willoughby (click here to see it). Another visit today revealed a few more artefacts.

The former station house still retains it's railway association

Some of the platform still survives supporting a garden wall of an adjoining property

The substantial goods shed still remains.....

...along with one piece of old rolling stock!
Looking from the level crossing, the trackbed towards Grimsby and the station was located immediately after the crossing. The wall on the left is stood on what remains of one of the platforms (see above)

A reminder of what Willoughby once looked like. This 1959 photograph shows the well kept station and the East Lincolnshire main line to Grimsby. The branch to Mablethorpe can be seen diverging to the right in the distance (Photo: HB Priestley)
