More about this scene

Navenby now seems to be an almost self-contained village on the A607 between Lincoln and Grantham. The main street consists mostly of stone cottages converted over the years into shops. The Lion and Royal pub (left) is still there (Royal because of a royal visitor years ago), and the Co-op opposite is in a new stone-fronted building of 1996. The bus shelter has moved, but the red telephone box is still in use. In 2004 the Home Grown Cereals Authority awarded the Navenby bakers Pete and Mary Welbourn the first prize in the Tasty Baker Award scheme. Their shop (next to the Co-op) is now wheelchair-friendly, a very useful asset.

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.
