Lincolnshire / Re: Pyewipe Cottages or Railway Cottages, Skellingthorpe

Heres one of the StationMasters house at Skellingthorpe , (taken same time as the cottages, ) all 3 houses are still occupied today.
Struggling to find a decent close-up of the station at Skelly, but further up the line at North Clifton , the Station still exists, , see pics attached. All the village railway stations, cottages & station masters houses , along the L,D & EC Railway were pretty much identical as far as I can tell.

I`ll second Andy`s thanks to Fireman Bill, and add a pic of the cottages at Skellingthorpe ( i think around late 60`s/early 1970`s).
I thought it may have been you Andy.!.. ...just to say , I`ve gathered up quite a few pics of the station, one way or another, & am trying to get it all together as a permanant display in the village.
We`re still short of anything pre-50`s, if anyone has anything at all to share?
Bill would you agreable to my using these 2 pics of yours in the display ( with full credit/copyrights etc to you) ?

I` ve just `stumbled` across this site, in my attempts to research the history of the railway in Skellingthorpe.
I live in Skelly and remember the old Pyewipe railway cottages , before the A46 bypass development, removed any trace of them. As has been mentioned, the 2 cottages in the village, next to the station-masters house, and indeed further up the line were all identical to each other.
I`ve been to the NRM at York, Lincoln Archives, and gathered up a number of books written about the railways in Lincolnshire. There is also a Lancs, Derby & East Coast Railway Co society. But try as I might it is proving very difficult to get any photographs of Skellingthorpe station.
I do have a few pics , which I`m trying to compile in to a display in the village, & following the varying comments in this thread has been very useful.
Would any of the thread contributors mind if I make references to your information, & better still ,would anyone have any photographs ( of people or buildings or the trains, that I could use?
