Holton-le-Clay was a railway station on the East Lincolnshire Railway{{sfn|Conolly|2004|loc=p. 22, section F2}} which served the English villages of Holton-le-Clay and Tetney in Lincolnshire between 1848 and 1964. It was originally named Holton-le-Clay and Tetney, but Tetney was dropped soon after opening, even though the station was more conveniently sited for that village. The line through Holton-le-Clay remained open for freight until December 1980, but could be reopened by the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway as its northern terminus.

History

The station opened on 1 March 1848{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=122}} as part of the East Lincolnshire Railway between {{rws|Grimsby}} and {{rws|Louth}}.{{sfn|Ludlam|1991|p=16}} It was constructed by contractor John Waring and Sons of Rotherham who, in December 1846, had agreed to construct the line for the sum of £46,102 ({{Inflation|UK|46102|1846|fmt=eq|cursign=£|r=-4}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}}{{sfn|Ludlam|1991|p=14}} The architects of the station buildings were John Grey Weightman and Matthew Ellison Hadfield of Sheffield.[1]

The station was initially named Holton-le-Clay and Tetney{{sfn|Butt|1995|p=122}} to reflect its location one mile to the south of the Lincolnshire village of Holton-le-Clay and slightly closer to Tetney to the east.{{sfn|Goode|1985|p=53}} It consisted of staggered platforms either side of the level crossing over the Tetney road;{{sfn|Ludlam|1991|p=93}} the down platform to the north and the up to the south.{{sfn|Ludlam|1991|p=89}} A signal box constructed in the standard East Lincolnshire Railway pattern stood on the north side of the crossing.{{sfn|King|Hewins|1998|loc=fig. 173}} It controlled the crossing and a small goods yard situated to the south of the crossing on the down side.{{sfn|Ludlam|1991|p=90}}[2] The yard was served by a single siding which trailed off the down line to end in cattle dock.[2] The station house, built in the same style as those provided at {{rws|Fotherby Halt}} and {{rws|Utterby Halt}},{{sfn|Goode|1985|p=53}} stood in the north-eastern corner of the yard.[2]

Although the station was more convenient for Tetney than Holton-le-Clay,{{sfn|Goode|1985|p=53}} Tetney was dropped from the station's name soon after opening.[2] The July 1922 timetable saw nine up and down weekday services, plus one Sunday service each way, call at Holton-le-Clay.{{sfn|Ludlam|1991|pp=111-112}} The station closed to passengers on 4 July 1955,{{sfn|Clinker|1978|p=64}} with the goods yard remaining open a further nine years until 25 May 1964.{{sfn|Clinker|1978|p=64}}

Present day

The platforms have been demolished, but the stationhouse remains in private ownership.[2] The crossing gates on both sides have also survived, as has the cattle dock which stands in the yard now used as an industrial vehicle depot.[2] The former Up Home signal no.17 still stands in front of the foundations of the signal box. On 28 September 1991, the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway obtained a Light Railway Order authorising the reinstatement of the East Lincolnshire Railway between {{rws|Waltham|England}} and the former Keddington Road level crossing near Louth, which would include the line up to Holton-le-Clay.[3]

On 26 August 2009, the first train between {{rws|North Thoresby}} and {{rws|Ludborough}} ran for the first time in 47 years.[4][5] It is planned to reopen the line as far as Holton-le-Clay.
