[7] The stationmaster's house is similar in style to that found at other stations on the line and was sited adjacent to the crossing on the down side.

[8] The station was closed to passengers on 7 December 1953,[2] one of the first such closures on the East Lincolnshire Line, but goods facilities (downgraded to an unstaffed public siding[7]) remained for a further ten-and-a-half years until 15 June 1964.

[10] The main station building was later restored by Mike Legge as a museum housing a collection of railwayana.

[10][11] The museum acquired a signal box which had controlled the crossing of the Alford and Sutton Tramway by the Mablethorpe Loop Line at a point on the edge of Sutton-on-Sea.

[12] The museum closed in 1998 upon the retirement of the owners and the contents auctioned, but the station remains in good condition as a private residence with the signal box visible from the road.
