More about this scene

South of Lincoln a string of villages grew up along the western edge of the limestone ridge, mostly along the spring line. Navenby is a small market town with wide, airy views over the Trent valley to the west. There is a fine church, noted for its Decorated Gothic chancel, and a broad main street, once the market place. Beyond the telephone box, still here, the shop was rebuilt recently, but otherwise there has been little change.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

This is the village where I was born and grew up. The first shop on the right was my Dad's, a Butcher. This was next to Welbourn's the baker. The other side of Tenters Lane was another Bakers, Marshall's. The village school then was in Church Lane next to the church and the teachers were Miss True, Mr Wright, Miss Milner, and Mr Powley, the Head. I went to this school and so did my Dad. I believe Mr Powley taught him too.
