The delightful station waiting room at Barrow Haven is seen on the estuary side of the tracks. Located at a very remote spot on the flats of the Humber estuary it had a rather exposed platform that was located opposite this building. Passengers had to make their way along the approved walking route seen behind the railings, cross the occupation level crossing, and walk up the platform ramp to access the infrequent trains. According to Chris Bates' website, the sturdy wooden building was moved to Barrow Haven from Brocklesby at the start of the twentieth century. He also states that the building was saved from demolition by being taken to a private railway museum at Kirton Lindsey. It was later moved to the Burgh le Marsh railway museum, but since that museum closed its present whereabouts are unknown.
