This 2ft gauge railway, utilising ex WD track from the Nocton Estates Light Railway, opened in 1960 and provided a useful transport link between the Humberston Fitties
caravan park and bus services to Cleethorpes at its North Sea Lane terminus. The railway closed at Humberston in 1985 and was lifted soon afterwards.
The locomotives, stock, and track were initially put into storage - and in the intervening years the railway was painstakingly rebuilt at Skegness,
finally reopening to the public in May 2009.

Two nice views ... of a young lady visiting what was then a very new and pristine South Sea Lane station as the LCLR had just been
rebuilt on a new alignment south of its original 1960 route and extended into the Fitties Camp to terminate at South Sea Lane.
