George V Postbox, High Street, Washingborough, Lincolnshire

I spotted this postbox in the village of Washingborough a few miles east of Lincoln. There are signs of new mortar around the box and it would appear to have been repositioned in the wall of the property (The Old Post Office) which I think has recently been redeveloped with the addition of a new window.

The Ferry Boat Inn, Washingborough, Lincolnshire

The Ferry Boat Inn is a 16th Century listed building with low-beamed ceilings typical of the period. An ale house is known to have been on the site in 1547 & had the ferry rights to across the river. Originally it was for horse and passengers, later for passengers only. The River Witham at the time was a quarter of a mile across, now it is about 30 yards from bank to bank which may well account for the fact that the pub is a few hundred yards from the River Witham which flows easterly just to the north of the village.

Washingborough, Lincolnshire

The Station, Washingborough, Lincolnshire. Although Washingborough was, at the time, only a small village the creation of the Great Northern Railway's line from Lincoln to Boston in the middle of the 19th century gave the village it's own station as a line passed through here following the course of the River Witham. Opening in 1846 the station served the village and it's growing population until the 1960's when, in an attempt to control the spiralling cost of running the rail network, it fell under the Beeching Axe which saw many little-used and unprofitable lines disappear. The rails have long since gone and the station, although looking closed up in this shot, is now a private house. The old track bed is now part of 'The Water Rail Way' a multi-use path that will eventually connect Lincoln and Boston, promising 20 miles of off-road path and 13 miles on quiet lanes. At the moment the route runs for nine miles alongside the River Witham from Lincoln to Bardney.
