history : a walk through the archaeology of Castle Bytham : station road

added 27/07/04


Climbing Station Road we pass three blocks of brick built terraced housing. These were built to house workers for a small railway yard at the base of the nearby cutting. The Bourne to Saxby line was built in 1898 and closed in 1959 (slightly in advance of the main reorganisation proposed by the 1963 Beeching report).
