Gate to north of Green Man Wood This road leads to the site of the former Coleby Grange Voluntary Agricultural Camp.

I had been trying for several years to locate where it was that my mother worked when she came down to Lincolnshire from Scotland in the late 1940’s, and finally discovered that it was this very spot.  Unfortunately my mother died a few weeks before I found out.  I have submitted a separate 'history' photo of her at this location when she worked here.
