 You describe the journey from Boston to Mablethorpe as I remember it.  Remember the train crawling past a place called "Clover Dairy" . Where was that?.

 

Clover Dairy seems to have been a dairy produce company delivering milk etc to many parts of Lincolnshire. They had a depot in Grimsby (and maybe other places)....which may partly answer your question.

Clover Dairy had a facility at Willoughby that's the one you'd have seen.
