Description: EXTRA INFOPHOTO LINCOLN ST MARKS THE MIDLAND RAILWAY EVIDENTLY CONSIDERED LINCOLN A SUFFICIENTLY IMPORTANT DESTINATION TO JUSTIFY THIS RATHER GRAND CLASSICAL PORTICO FOR ITS STATION - EVEN THOUGH LINCOLN WAS EFFECTIVELY AT THE END OF A LENGTHY BRANCH LINE FROM NOTTINGHAM. THE STATION WAS BUILT IN 1846 AND WAS CLOSED IN 1985 ALTHOUGH IN THE LAST FEW YEARS OF ITS LIFE IT HAD BECOME MORE IMPORTANT AFTER LONDON - GRIMSBY TRAINS WERE ROUTED THIS WAY FOLLOWING CLOSURE OF THE DIRECT LINE THROUGH BOSTON. HOWEVER IN 1985 A NEW CONNECTION WAS BUILT ALLOWING ALL SERVICES TO BE CONCENTRATED ON THE LARGER - AND MORE CONVENIENTLY LOCATED - CENTRAL STATION. THE LOSS OF ST MARKS STATION MIGHT BE MOURNED BUT THIS WAS ONE CLOSURE THAT UNDOUBTEDLY BENEFITED PASSENGERS. FORTUNATELY HOWEVER THE BUILDING HAS BEEN RETAINED AND NOW SERVES AS RETAIL PREMISES. 2010 COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) STEPHEN MCKAY PHOTO PAPER THICKNESS NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH THICKNESS NOTES REF NO SMV-3874 PHOTO SIZE SIZE 6 X 4 inches CONDITION: SOME CROPPING OR WHITE LINES TOP/BOTTOM MAY OCCUR DUE TO PHOTO RATIO WATERMARK IF PRESENT ON THE IMAGE WILL NOT APPEAR ON ITEM SENT TO YOU: NOTES This is a print and supply service for an image that is COPYRIGHT (Photograph and text in Extra Info) Stephen McKay obtained from GEOGRAPH and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic License Details available here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ MANY OTHER ITEMS ARE BEING ADDED TO MY SHOP DAILY
