Sedgebrook railway station was on the Nottingham to Grantham line in the East Midlands of England. The station lay between Bottesford and Grantham. It served a population of about 900 in the villages of Sedgebrook and Allington and the hamlet of Casthorpe, all in Lincolnshire. It was closed in 1956.[1]
The line
[edit]The line opened as the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway on 15 July 1850.[2] It was then leased to the Great Northern Railway in 1855, but remained nominally independent until it was taken over by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923.
