I think this summer I may try and visit all the gunsites around this area that have any visible remains and get them photographed and written up as individual posts. This really is fantastic stuff to read, and to get on record Len, can't tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate it Kind regards Rod Len,

She wasn't there in 1911 because the census of that year shows it was being run by a gent who gloried in the name of Theophilus Whatling. I called at Waterside House in September when I was in the area and was made most welcome bt the present owners, who arwe now selling up.

The truly annoying thing is that Lincolnshire is awash with land - we don't need to make space ! It genuinely is a disgrace All the best Rod John,
the planners in Lincolnshire have much to answer for - just look at what the heritage they’ve allowed to be bulldozed - you couldn’t imagine such things happening in the home counties.

The truly annoying thing is that Lincolnshire is awash with land - we don’t need to make space !
It genuinely is a disgrace

Sadly, the school was demolished to make way for new homes. Shame on you, planners. I attended Barton Grammar School on Caistor Road in the mid-70s.
