How far away was the above (Skellingthorpe) station from the station of the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway that was opened in 1897 and closed in 1955?....
I haven't found an OS map showing the earlier (GNR) station explicitly but the most likely location is at the Skellingthorpe Ferry. A lineside building is shown on the 1892 map and there is a road (Ferry Lane) linking direct to the village. It also corresponds with the location shown in Wignall's Gazeteer. It is over a mile from the LD&ECR station site, which is of course on a different line.
