The line through Kimbolton was closed to passengers in 1953 - I do not know when it was closed completely.
That line has not yet been covered by the 'Disused Stations' website.

It was on the Kettering Cambridge line, and I think it didn't close until about 1959.

Because of weak bridges the locos. used were antique until the arrival of Ivatt 2 2-6-0s. As a result of the former it was perhaps a better-photographed line than many. H.C. Casserley took quite a few along the line.
Probably a standard small Midland box of the 'Airfix Kit' type. Another on the branch and possibly similar was at Buckden (?) which survived at least until recently as a greenhouse, between the A1 and a slip road.
