More about this scene

The town was probably established as a port on the Wainfleet Haven by Bardney Abbey, but by the 15th century the haven silted up and the port declined. The Haven became a continuation of the Steeping River, and the sea is now three miles away. At its centre is the square Market Place with a medieval market cross whose shaft can be seen to the left.

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

I have memories of me and the now-landlord getting banned from this pub and I lost me bike!
This isn't a memory, but I would like to hear about other people's memories as to the Woolpack at Wainfleet. I have been the landlady of this hotel for the last 7 months and would like to know some history about the premises prior to the 1950s - can anyone help?
