Gedney Railway Station, Lincs - May 2011

Visited this old station earlier this evening, I stumbled across it after seeing it from the A17 quite by accident, so we went and had a quick look. Apologies for the photo quality, it was pouring with rain and I was very unsuitably dressed for exploring, and only had my camera phone on me. So.....

Inside access may have been possible had I had the right stuff, will be going back at some point....

A little history (a little borrowed from BlackShuck's old report, hope you don't mind): Gedney Station connected the East Coast Ports and Holiday Destinations with the Industrial midlands. It is one of the older stations on the Midland/Great Northern joint, being built around 1866. It was closed in 1959.

On with the pics...














Station sign still remains against all odds. I cannot believe this, especially since there now seems to be a gypsy camp very near the site!

Hope you think it was worth posting

Looks like it worth a revisit.

Indeed, I will wear some proper clothes and try and squeeze in somehow. Looking through the open window, it appears there may still be some interesting contents and fittings. Anyone else fancy a revisit?

Seemingly not, which is quite a surprise considering the current value of railwayana bits. The only evidence of people was a load of fly tipping through the open window

I have been to this place several times. It is a great place.
