Holton-le-Clay was a railway station on the East Lincolnshire RailwayШаблон:Sfn which served the English villages of Holton-le-Clay and Tetney in Lincolnshire between 1848 and 1964. It was originally named Holton-le-Clay and Tetney, but Tetney was dropped soon after opening, even though the station was more conveniently sited for that village. The line through Holton-le-Clay remained open for freight until December 1980, but could be reopened by the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway as its northern terminus.
History
The station opened on 1 March 1848Шаблон:Sfn as part of the East Lincolnshire Railway between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws.Шаблон:Sfn It was constructed by contractor John Waring and Sons of Rotherham who, in December 1846, had agreed to construct the line for the sum of £46,102 (Шаблон:Inflation).Шаблон:Inflation-fnШаблон:Sfn The architects of the station buildings were John Grey Weightman and Matthew Ellison Hadfield of Sheffield.[1]
The station was initially named Holton-le-Clay and TetneyШаблон:Sfn to reflect its location one mile to the south of the Lincolnshire village of Holton-le-Clay and slightly closer to Tetney to the east.Шаблон:Sfn It consisted of staggered platforms either side of the level crossing over the Tetney road;Шаблон:Sfn the down platform to the north and the up to the south.Шаблон:Sfn A signal box constructed in the standard East Lincolnshire Railway pattern stood on the north side of the crossing.Шаблон:Sfn It controlled the crossing and a small goods yard situated to the south of the crossing on the down side.Шаблон:Sfn[2] The yard was served by a single siding which trailed off the down line to end in cattle dock.[2] The station house, built in the same style as those provided at Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws,Шаблон:Sfn stood in the north-eastern corner of the yard.[2]
Although the station was more convenient for Tetney than Holton-le-Clay,Шаблон:Sfn Tetney was dropped from the station's name soon after opening.[2] The July 1922 timetable saw nine up and down weekday services, plus one Sunday service each way, call at Holton-le-Clay.Шаблон:Sfn The station closed to passengers on 4 July 1955,Шаблон:Sfn with the goods yard remaining open a further nine years until 25 May 1964.Шаблон:Sfn

Present day
The platforms have been demolished, but the stationhouse remains in private ownership.[2] The crossing gates on both sides have also survived, as has the cattle dock which stands in the yard now used as an industrial vehicle depot.[2] The former Up Home signal no.17 still stands in front of the foundations of the signal box. On 28 September 1991, the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway obtained a Light Railway Order authorising the reinstatement of the East Lincolnshire Railway between Шаблон:Rws and the former Keddington Road level crossing near Louth, which would include the line up to Holton-le-Clay.[3]
On 26 August 2009, the first train between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws ran for the first time in 47 years.[4][5] It is planned to reopen the line as far as Holton-le-Clay.
