Gedney railway station (site), Lincolnshire Opened in 1862 by the Norwich & Spalding Railway on what became part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway line from Leicester to Yarmouth, this station closed to passengers in 1959 and completely in 1965.
View east across the former level crossing towards Long Sutton and ultimately Yarmouth. There used to be two parallel platforms here. For many years, the station was derelict (for example, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/28557">TF4123 : Gedney Station</a>) but was undergoing renovation when this image was taken.

The Road to Holbeach Hurn On my journey, this seemed to be the point of no return. Once leaving Holbeach towards the 'Wash area' The roads get no wider than this and the landscape littered with wind farms. If you look carefully, you can see some turbines in the distance to the mid right of this picture.
