I took this picture this morning as I drove into the village.It does not have the interest that the pictures from Larry has, as we tend not to have isolated old buildings in England. It does have some interest, though. The highway was built about 2300 years ago, when the Romans first invaded Britain. It is part of the road they built linking the city of Lincoln with the city that became Sheffield.
The big house in the centre of the picture is 1 of our 2 manor houses, and was built in 1673 and has been in continuous occupation since, although not by the same family.The smaller house to right of centre ( behind the phone pole) was 3 houses built for farmworkers in about1750. They are now 1 house and home to a Massey-Ferguson 135, in showroom condition. Phil
