About Potterhanworth Station
Great Eastern and Great Northern Joint Railway carrying trains between East Anglia to south Yorkshire and beyond opened in 1882.
It was created from a mix of existing railway routes together with one new section, that from Spalding to Lincoln, also opened in 1882. Potterhanworth station was on this latter stretch.
It was built to the same architectural design as the other village stations on the new line.
The station closed to passengers in 1955 and for goods in 1964.
The line remains open but the building in this photograph has since been demolished.
The station house still stands on the B1178 just past the railway bridge.
