This link suggests that the NS bridge was near Market Rasen, but I have no personal knowledge that enables me to vouch for the accuracy of this:

But here's an OS map link (c.1905 from amazing National Library of Scotland site):

Or see this for the Nova Scotia Gardens station that was a temporary terminus in Birmingham up until about 1838:

And this suggests that there was a siding at Nova Scotia Bridge, Market Rasen, built for the timber trade:

The sidings are on the 1905/6 OS map, but not on the earlier 1886/7 edition of that OS map.
