Leadenham railway station is located on Main Road, to the north of the village. The railway station building was built in 1876 for the Great Northern Railway of coursed rubble with flush ashlar dressings, and a slate roof with overhanging eaves. It is now a house. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}
The GNR branch line opened in 1867. As this station straddled the parish boundary the station house and road bridge in Leadenham were, at this insistence of the landowners, built of Ancaster stone but the goods shed and bridge to the north are of red brick as they are in Welbourn parish. The line closed in 1965 and the station is now a private house while the goods shed is in industrial use. The gateway to the industrial premises is a re-sited original GNR gate and piers. {3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1876 - 1970 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
