History
The station opened on 1 March 1848
The station was initially named Holton-le-Clay and Tetney
Although the station was more convenient for Tetney than Holton-le-Clay,[7] Tetney was dropped from the station's name soon after opening.[12] The July 1922 timetable saw nine up and down weekday services, plus one Sunday service each way, call at Holton-le-Clay.[13] The station closed to passengers on 4 July 1955,[14] with the goods yard remaining open a further nine years until 25 May 1964.[14]
