	The Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway is the only true narrow gauge railway (as distinct from a miniature railway) on the East Coast of the British Isles.

The 60 cm (1’ 115/8”) gauge line has a unique and historically important collection of early English narrow gauge railway carriages and wagons, diesel locomotives and one steam locomotive.

Construction has been under way since the mid-1990’s by a small group of volunteers,

following the closure of the original LCLR and a move from that site at Humberston, south of Cleethorpes, where it had operated from 1960 to 1985. The line had transported holiday makers from a bus terminus (and latterly, a Sunday market) to the Fitties Holiday Camp and Humberston Beach.

The railway has origins in the network of narrow gauge railways which before the development of modern roads, served Lincolnshire’s potato growing industry. The largest was the Nocton Estates Light Railway, seven miles south of Lincoln. Its track and rolling stock came from the trench railways built by the British military in the First World War to take troops and munitions to the front lines.

When the Nocton system was due for replacement by improved roads, a group of railway enthusiasts decided to preserve some of the equipment and convert it for use on a passenger carrying line. They built and opened the LCLR to achieve this.
