Skellingthorpe railway station (Great Northern Railway)

Skellingthorpe (Great Northern Railway) railway station was one of two stations serving the village of Skellingthorpe in Lincolnshire, England. It was a short-lived station between Lincoln and Doncaster. It opened in 1865 and closed in 1868 and was replaced by the later station on the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway in the centre of the village, while this earlier station was at the end of Ferry Lane, around a mile northeast of the village.[2] Today, the lines through the site are still in use but the platforms are long gone.[3][4]
