History
The station was opened on 3 September 1848 as ClaythorpeШаблон:Sfn after the settlement of Claythorpe, and was renamed in November 1885 to Aby after the nearby hamlet of Aby.Шаблон:Sfn It was constructed by Peto and Betts civil engineering contractors who, in January 1848, had taken over the contract to construct the section of the East Lincolnshire Railway between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws from John Waring and Sons.Шаблон:Sfn This section was the last to be completed in September 1848 at an agreed cost of £123,000 (Шаблон:Inflation).Шаблон:Inflation-fnШаблон:Sfn The station was provided with parallel platforms to the north of a skew level crossing,Шаблон:Sfn with the stationmaster's house situated on the south side of the crossing on the down side.Шаблон:Sfn Adjacent to the stationmaster's house, which contained a booking office, was a short low platformШаблон:Sfn which may have been used by rail motors.[2] On the opposite side of the line was a signal box bearing the name Aby, which may have been the shortest name for any signal box in the country.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The box controlled the crossing and a goods yard with a goods shed and a 1½-ton crane.[2] The yard, which was the largest at the three stations between Louth and Шаблон:Rws,[2] was the first to close, on 11 September 1961.Шаблон:Sfn The station closed to passengers on the same day.Шаблон:Sfn
