Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway
moves from Humberston

 
Following the closure of the LCLR at Humberston near Cleethorpes in 1985 the stock and trackwork of the railway was transported to a site adjacent to the Lincolnshire Railway Museum (now itself closed) at Burgh le Marsh near Skegness, whilst a suitable site could be found for relaying the railway.

The Sand Hutton coach, here  in very good order, would suffer greatly from exposure to the elements...

...as would the two Ashover coaches - minus bogies.
