Peat milling
The first mill at this location was established by Bennett’s Moss Peat Company in 1886 . Bennett’s employed 40 men to harvest the peat, which was removed from the moors in wagons pulled by horses, and taken to the mill, where it was milled and bagged into bales . Foster Wilson was employed to transport the bales by horse and dray to Swinefleet Clough, where there was a wharf .

The railway was opened for passengers on 10 August 1903, as far south as Crowle . Passenger services were withdrawn in 1933, and the railway was closed in 1965 .
