More about this scene

Godsmark's (second from left) have been in business and in the same shop for over 80 years, but most of the other businesses have changed. W M Kirk (left) is now Ambridge's Fish and Chip Restaurant. Sketchley, the cleaners have gone, as they have in several little towns. The shop that was S F Chesman (right) is now empty, but Sir John Franklin's statue still stands proudly in the middle of the Market Place and overlooks the Monday market.

Hi, does anyone know any history or have any photographs of the Chapel on Thorpe Bank, Little Steeping.  It was built in 1874 and was converted into a residential property in the 1980's.  We purchased it last year and have been searching for information as we'd love to know more about our lovely old chapel but haven't had any luck. I think it was previously known as the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Thorpe Bank, Thorpe St Peter. Hope someone can help.  Thanks.
My great great grandma, Indianna, was born in 1842 in Spilsby, her dad was Samuel Watson, does anyone have any information of this family. Indianna had several siblings, her mother was called Mary Turner. They also lived on Ashby Rd at some time, possibly either owning a farm or working on a farm. Indianna left home to work in Cheetham in Manchester as a servant. Does anyone know of the family or is indeed related to any of the siblings also the history of Samuel & Mary . Thanks Alan
