The station was located to suit the Earl of Yarborough, in his capacity as chairman of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway who built the line. It included a private waiting room for the earl. The building was designed by architects Weightman and Hadfield in the Tudor Gothic style used throughout the line. The building is listed as grade II, in which the style is referred to as Jacobean.
The unusual platform-based signal box is also a grade II listed building and became redundant due to resignalling works in December 2015.
On 27 March 1907, two freight trains collided at Brocklesby.
