Part of Horncastle Railway Station, which was demolished 40 years ago, has survived and is still in use, according to the town’s History and Heritage Society.
A significant part of the building, which was demolished in 1985 to make way for new premises for Bush Tyres, is still in use for its original purpose.

For Horncastle and Woodhall Spa, it was the end of the line for a service that had begun in 1855.
Despite opposition, daily passenger services ceased on September 13, 1954.
A special service, organised by railway enthusiasts, ran 10 years later, bringing the largest steam locomotive ever seen in Horncastle to the branch. From then, only goods trains ran, with the crew opening and closing level crossing gates and changing the points on the seven-and-a-half mile run from Woodhall Junction.
A RECENT Looking Back picture triggered some happy memories for former Lancashire Evening Telegraph journalist Chris Bates. It also encouraged him to see if Looking Back readers can help him in a quest to unearth some particular railway memorabilia. We’ll let Chris take up the story: “In 1967, I moved to Blackburn from my native Lincolnshire to work on the Evening (as it was then) Telegraph and to my great delight, not only did the newsroom offer a panoramic view of the railway station and its approaches, but also many of the trains were still pulled by steam locomotives. They had vanished from Lincolnshire’s railways two or three years previously, so for me as a railway enthusiast from a railway family, this was an added bonus to the many pleasures of working in Lancashire.
