Visiting friends who have recently moved to Collingham, we started the day with a pub breakfast in nearby Winthorpe. Micky Dolenz of the Monkees used to live at Winthorpe House. Built in 1848, the Italianate-style Collingham station house is a grand, if now rather dilapidated affair. Grade II listing has not saved it from some visibly crumbling masonry. House martins were back in residency on this pleasant spring day. Provision of a car park next to the station in 2014 has led to increased passenger use on the line that serves Lincoln, Newark and Nottingham.
