The Approach. This was the approach to Pinchbeck Station now the entrance to an industrial estate.
The station opened in 1882 and closed in 1961. The line is still used for through traffic
This photo shows the entrance to Pinchbeck Railway Station with the approach in the background. Pinchbeck Station opened in 1882, closed to passengers in 1961 before closing entirely in 1964.
The photo is undated, but i would think it could have been taken between 1910-20.

Thank you David Gray, I have been looking for this view of Pinchbeck Station for a model that I have been making, copied on Gosberton. I lived in Brownlow when it was first built also saw the building of the watertower
Thanks, Please tell us more

Only just found your enquiry, still working on adding platforms to the model and will have gas lights working, but what would you like to know about pinchbeck from early 50’s, got the register of electors for 1960′ used to helped deliver milk all around from pinchbeck church corner to surfleet and knew most families and businesses, the village has doubled in size. Also can remember many of the children of my year at pinchbeck school, headmaster J Burton

Hi Richard
I have only just found your message. I used to play with you when you lived near Healey’s House near Milestone Lane shop. and Eddie Curry’sand I remember you leaving and emigrating to Australia. eventually we moved into 15 Brownlow Crescent. You might remember another friend of mine at the time from Milestone Lane, Trevor Young, his family went to America had a sister Susan, never heard anymore from them.
I used to play with you, you had a lovely Train Set, two engines with controls in the cab.
I hope you find this message… Lovely to hear from you after all this time.
