King Street, Hanby

Hanby is a collection of farms, cottages and larger houses spread out along this section of the old Roman road from Bourne to Ancaster. Most of this historic route is now just a dotted line on the OS map and not suitable for public access. The silvery structures behind the hedge on the left are poultry sheds.
