Horncastle railway station was a station in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England. It was at the end of a short branch line that ran from Woodhall Junction[1] which opened on 11 August 1855.[2] Like many fairly rural stations it was eventually shut as the rail network was cut back, with passenger service withdrawn from 13 September 1954[2] and goods and freight terminating on 5 April 1971.[3]
The station building was demolished in 1985 and the site is now occupied by Bush Tyres and by the Granary Way Housing Estate. The only surviving evidence is a gate post at the entrance to the goods yards.[4]
The track bed to Woodhall Spa survives as a long-distance footpath.
