Legbourne Railway Museum

 

 

Legbourne Road was the first station south of Louth on the East

Lincolnshire main line and lost its passenger service on December 7th,

1953. In recent years the property served as the Legbourne Railway

Museum and, as such, contained a wealth of items of local and

national railway interest. Sadly, due to the retirement of its owners, the

museum closed in 1998 and the many exhibits were sold by auction.

The signal box on the platform was formerly the Tramway Crossing

box at Sutton-on-Sea, a photograph can be found in the

Virtual Tour of East Lincolnshire Railways on this site. The following

record for posterity some of the many exhibits which will now be in the

hands of many different owners.
