In both examples, you're mis-stating the data. Given the data
argument, you do not need to restate the data source.

histogram(~Width | Station*Raw.no10$Year, data=Raw.no10,
layout=c(4,2),nin=30,xlab="Prosomal Width (mm)",
strip=strip.custom(bg='white'),ylab="Frequencies",tick=-1,col='grey',as.table=TRUE)

If that doesn't solve your problem, then please use
dput(head(Raw.no10), 20) to provide some example data, or create fake
data of the same structure.

Without a reproducible example that includes some sample data (fake is
fine), the code you used, and some clear idea of what output you
expect, it's impossible to figure out how to help you. Here are some
suggestions for creating a good reproducible example:
