Summary

Description
English: Bourne Station - and the Red Hall almost on the Platform.

View southward, towards Castle Bytham and Melton Mowbray, also Essendine. This had been a thriving junction of the M&GN (Melton Mowbray)- Castle Bytham - Bourne - Spalding etc. line with the ex-GNR branches from Sleaford and from Essendine. The station looked intact when photographed in 1961, but it had closed to passengers on 2/3/59, when the M&GN system was closed wholesale, but remained open for goods until 5/4/65 when the line from Essendine was finally closed (passenger services had ceased 18/6/51). The line from Sleaford had lost its passenger service on 22/9/30, goods in 6/64.

The ancient Red Hall, dating back to 1605, had been acquired by the Bourne & Essendine Railway in 1860 and was used as the Stationmaster's house. After closure of the station it was bought by the Bourne United Charities in 1962.
