Grimsby Pyewipe Road railway station

Grimsby Pyewipe Road railway station was a temporary terminus serving people involved in building Immingham Dock, Lincolnshire, England.HistoryIn 1906 Lady Henderson ceremonially cut the first sod to start the Great Central Railway's project to build Immingham Dock on an almost uninhabited, greenfield site on the south bank of the Humber.The location had no rail access and few of its roads were better than farm tracks, so the Great Central planned three railways to the new dock:The Humber Commercial Railway, which was, and in 2016 remained, the main goods artery to and from the dockThe Grimsby District Light Railway (GDLR), which connected the new dock with the established railways of Grimsby, andThe Barton and Immingham Light Railway whose main purpose would be to transport workers between the dock and Hull. The GDLR was the first to reach Immingham, being used by contractors to ferry men and materials from and to Grimsby, including guests for the sod cutting. Contractors obtained a rake of ex-Metropolitan Railway coaches to run unadvertised workmen's services to match their shifts, using makeshift platforms.This arrangement continued until the Great Central decided there was sufficient demand for a passenger service between Grimsby and Immingham Dock and village to justify building two unstaffed halts, each with a single 240ft wooden platform, one at the Immingham end of the GDLR, to be known as Immingham Halt, and the other at the Grimsby end, to be known as Grimsby Pyewipe Road.
