have just watched the mayor of skegness unveil the john hassell plaque at skegness ralway station on your video and thoroughly enjoyed it, we were so sorry that we missed the actual cermony as we come quite often to skegness,whilst i am on the subject of the railway station i have heard that the station front is to have a face lift and that the station masters house is to be demolished,i do hope that they will think again about this because surely this must be a grade 2at least listed building. i have however taken some photos of the station and the station masters house just in case thie demolition work goes ahead.
