Woolsthorpe Bottom Lock, No. 16

This is one of three restored locks, close together, and named at the location presumably by the Grantham Canal Society which has its headquarters at the buildings in the image, as Woolsthorpe Top, Middle and Bottom Locks. The Collins / Nicholson Waterways Guide No.6 however names these locks differently, the one in the image being regarded as Carpenters Shop Lock.

Grantham Canal: approaching bridge No. 63

The bridge is being approached from the north-west. Due to lighting conditions the already dark footbridge is being viewed against a background of shadowed trees and so is not well seen.

Line of old mineral railway, near Woolsthorpe

Once a mineral railway serving the ironstone workings which were prevalent in this area in the first half of the 20th century, this is now part of the National Cycle Route Network. It runs alongside the Grantham Canal in this square, which is just to the right behind the trees.
