Ulcbey station is located on the northern apex of a triangle of lines in north Lincolnshire. It is one of three stations (with one now closed) located at the other points of the triangle with Habrough to the east and Brocklesby to the west (closed 03.10.93). Back in 1981 all the stations and the infrastructure were delightfully quaint with much appearing to be forgotten in what appeared to be a railway backwater. This did mean that there was much to photograph delighting the railway enthusiast such as BR enamel signs. This particular example at Ulceby looks as if it is about to fall into the brambles and bindweed enveloping the railings below! As with the sign at Brockelsby taken a little earlier, I am not sure if this example was a BR blue or an LNER example, I suspect the latter but will take advice from my reader!
