A walk along Goxhill station's platforms even as late as

1981 was like going back in time to another railway era! With its coal yard still appearing to be in use the platforms proudly have a large blue enamel (possibly of LNER vintage due to its non-flanged and wooden framed edges) and a totem. The post to which the totem is attached has the remains of its gas lighting control valve. One cannot help to wonder where this totem ended up. I hope that it was not simply thrown away when the station was 'upgraded' and that it still exists today. If so, the lucky owner may well be in receipt of a piece of railway memorabilia worth several thousand pounds!
