History
editThe station and line opened on 1 August 1866, closed temporarily between 9 October 1880 and 1 February 1881, and closed permanently on 15 September 1958,[3] although the line remained open for goods until 1964.[4] The three intermediate stations between Spalding and Bourne had unusual names, because there were few nearby settlements; the local meaning of "Drove" is a road flanked by ditches or streams.[5]
