History
The station and line opened on 1 August 1866, closed temporarily between 9 October 1880 and 1 February 1881, and closed permanently on 15 September 1958,[3] although the line remained open for goods until 1964.[4] The three intermediate stations between Spalding and Bourne had unusual names, because there were few nearby settlements; the local meaning of "Drove" is a road flanked by ditches or streams.[5]

gollark: That sure is a thing of some kind.
gollark: As they say, there is no escape.
gollark: Rescheduled to 2022.
gollark: (not February 30th; this does not, in fact, exist, under any circumstances. DO NOT believe any claims of its existence. Immediately cease contact with anyone who tells you it exists. The 30th of February does not, and in fact by definition cannot, occur. There is no 30/02. It is not real. Avert your gaze. IT IS NOT REAL.)
gollark: They hide a lot of things, actually.
