I believe this line went from Wansford LNWR Station(still in existence and owned now by the Nene Valley Railway to Stamford, it was closed in the mid 1920's. The road bridge on the A47 is still there as is this station building, it has been a private house for many years.

This is the Great Northern line that ran from a junction just east of Wansford station and headed northwards to cross the Midland line through Stamford and turned westwards to Stamford East station. This is Wansford Road station and it closed in 1929 when the line was shut.
