Lincolnshire is a largely rural county, which was reflected in the
early history of the railway lines. The main lines mostly passed
through on their way to somewhere else and the local traffic was
handled by a large number of branch lines. Author Alan Stennett
explores the history of the railways in Lincolnshire, starting with
the very early days when it was expected that Lincoln would be on a
main line to the north, only to lose out to what we now know as the
East Coast Main Line. Using archive maps, original photographs and
other sources, he traces the development of railways in the county,
and their role in serving the great fishing port of Grimsby,
'bracing' East Coast resorts such as Cleethorpes and Skegness, the
iron and steel industries of Scunthorpe and the agricultural
heartland of the Fens. The network saw many early closures before
being savaged by the Beeching cuts, but the story continues to the
present day, where new developments offer renewed hope for what is
left of the system.
