When was the disused platform (formerly platform 8 perhaps) at Lincoln Central last used? Was it ever used for passengers? It seems very narrow.

I know it was trackless and out of use even back in the early 90s.

Edited to add: Here's a photo from 1970 and it's there on the extreme right, trackless even then.

Platform 8 went out of use & was lifted after the Lincoln-Grantham line closed in 1965.
So some time in between 1965 & 1970.

This would go with the pictures I've seen of it in use in 1957 and gone by 1970. Thanks for the context of the closure! :)
