Kirkham Abbey Box and Former Station 2013

These set is a result of a stop off on the way to relatives in North Yorkshire to let 4 and 8 year old boys legs have a run at Kirkham Abbey during as long car journey.
The station was closed as long ago as September 1930 and amazingly the box doesn't appear to be scheduled to close until 2026!
