I used to live in the station house when I was a child (approx 1969+) I'm looking forward to visiting in the near future to see what has changed.

I remember staying on holiday at Woodhall Farm, near Constable Burton, in the early and mid 1960s as a young child. My mother's aunt was married to Donald Smith who was the tenant farmer there for many years and ran a dairy farm. The railway fascinated me and I recall crossing the track to get to the lower fields with the field's electric fences, exercising caution when crossing the railway in case of a train passing by. I gazed up and down the track as I had never been this close to such a working railway. At milking time the cows would be herded across the railway to the milking shed and its equipment (and farm cats). My mother had stayed with her aunt on a number of occasions as a child too when the railway was in full operation and some relatives had temporarily relocated during the Second World War to the countryside. The railway was very much part of the community and a welcome part of the infrastructure.
