High Street, Burgh le Marsh

Even on a weekday lunchtime, Burgh le Marsh has a sleepy feel; this was once a stretch of the A158 until it was by-passed in 2007. In this view there is hardly any traffic to be seen.

Sign for the Fleece Inn, Burgh le Marsh

The artist has captured a rather splendid beast to stare out of the sign for this Market Place pub - although it would be surprising if it could see anything. The sign is actually beside the road, no doubt to catch passing trade, rather than outside the pub.

The Bell Hotel, Burgh le Marsh

The Bell Hotel is operated by Bateman's whose brewery is at Wainfleet just a few miles away - their bright red house colour adorns many pubs hereabouts. As well as the usual pub facilities, the Bell offers nine en-suite bedrooms.
