The superb station building located on Gilberdyke's down platform is

seen catching some afternoon (according to the station clock approaching 15.00) winter sunshine. At this time, there were four tracks on this section of line but this has now been reduced to two. The lovely building has been demolished and the platform abandoned along with the super old footbridge. Up until 1974, it was known as Staddlethorpe station and also had a large yard located to the south side that served the adjacent Staddlethorpe pole yard, where telegraph poles were dipped in creosote; it must have been a malodorous place to live!
