Lincolnshire memories

Growing up

North Somercotes played a large part in my growing up, I lived with my parents, sister and brother on the Lakeside Lido in St Annes Avenue, next to my friend Cherry Mayfield. I particularly remember when we both had chickenpox and our mothers ran a line through our bedroom windows so we could play noughts and crosses back and forth. [more]

Holidays with the family

I remember as a child in the early to mid 1960's taking many family holidays here in these wonderful bungalows. We spent many a day when it was raining playing Dominoes or Ludo as a family. My elder brother used to catch eels in the dyke that ran alongside of this place. I was very squeamish when he returned with them,... [more]

Extracts From Saltfleet & Lincolnshire books

Lincolnshire Pocket Album

Moving east off The Wolds, our tour reaches the flat land between them and the sea, with its high line of rolling marram-grassed sand dunes as a backdrop. Saltfleet lies just behind the dunes, but is a remnant of the medieval town and port a little further east, long washed away by the sea. North of the old windmill is the... [more]

Lincolnshire Photographic Memories

North of the old windmill is the Manor House in mid seventeenth-century brick, which retains its original cross windows. It is said that Oliver Cromwell slept here after a Civil War skirmish at Winceby, so it would have to date from before the 1640s. The big tree has gone, and the outbuilding, whose steps can be seen at the left is... [more]
