The old railway station at Billingborough, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The railway station at Billingborough was built in 1872 to serve the villages of Billingborough, Horbling and Threekingham on the Bourne and Sleaford railway run by the Great Northern Railway Company. It closed to passengers in 1930 although the section from Bourne to Billingborough remained open for goods until 1964 and the station buildings became the headquarters of a local haulage company.

Buckminster Old House, Billingborough
This was just called "Buckminster House" in 1955 when I lived there, in the then children's home. Where the red bushes are on the right was our playground, a sandy area where I practised the high jump, among other things. At a guess, there were about 30 children, and a staff of perhaps 10.
