Canal heading north of east towards Grantham

The Grantham Canal approaching its severance short of the original terminus in the town of Grantham. Within a kilometre of this location, by the creation of the A1 Grantham bypass, a stretch of the original line of the waterway has been obliterated.

Grantham Canal meeting the A1 bypass

The Grantham Canal once entered the town itself but by 1962 the A1 road had been completely rerouted to bypass the town on its western side. That work severed the canal short of its terminus and now has the main length of the waterway ending at the location at the centre of the image just beyond a pontoon on which a resting walker can be seen. There's a break in the pontoon now (November 2022); Mat Fascione's image from 2014 shows it intact - Link .

Lindpet House and The Blue Lion

Lindpet House offices to the left and Eden Wine Bar in the former Blue Lion Inn in Grantham Market Place. The Blue Lion was one of the many pubs with 'blue' in the name originating from the early 19th century political rivalry between the Manners family, the Duke of Rutland from Belvoir Castle and The Brownlow family from Belton House. The Manners family were Whigs and their colour was blue - local pubs declared their political allegiance in their name and were frequented by their supporters.
