New Waltham and Humberston lie between Holton le Clay and Grimsby. Village is between the A16 and the disused railway. Heritage railway operates on part of the track (Lincolnshire Wolds Railway: see https://lincolnshirewoldsrailway.co.uk/history-of-lwr) but the section north of Holton le Clay has been used to construct a "fast road" into Grimsby. Railway was previously the East Lincolnshire line, operated by the Great Northern Railway Company. In 1923 the latter became part of the London Northern Eastern Railway (LNER), and in 1948 the line became part of British Railways following nationalisation. It closed finally in 1980. After the last section of line was closed by BR in 1980, the preservation society was formed with the aim of restoring it.
