Brocklesby Station part 1

We stayed three nights with our friends S and J at Brocklesby Railway Station, at Ulceby, which they are restoring.

The photos below are of the dining room, which faces the station platform. If you look out one of the dining room windows it appears as if trains are coming straight towards you, which can be a tad unnerving to say the least.

The origin of the name Ulceby:
the name Ulceby is from the Old Scandanavian Ulfr+by, or "farmstead of a man called Ulfr". It appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as Ulvesby.

Then of course there is the Australian Brocklesby Station.

More photo's later.
