River Welland from Market Deeping bridge

This view is from the parapet of the stone bridge built in 1842, looking east. The left bank is the back of the properties on the south side of the Market Place, and beyond.

Market Deeping town centre road junction

Both the A15 and A16 trunk roads used to thunder through here before the 4 mile western bypass was built and opened in 1998 at a cost of £7M. This view is now the B1524; it links the south and north access points of the bypass with the town centre. The B1525 (west to east routes) used to be part of the A16, prior to the bypass opening.

This view of the bridge is from the footpath which meanders alongside the south riverbank of the Welland, or one of the tributaries as far as Maxey mill.

The Priory Church of Deeping St James

Larger than your average Parish Church because it was a priory until the reformation. Norman arches, a graveside shelter and 12th C font to be found inside.

Sutton's Lane, Deeping Gate

On the opposite side of the River Welland to Market Deeping, Deeping Gate is stretched out along Sutton's Lane with most of the houses being on the river side of the road. Spot the wheelie bin! The oilseed rape on the left has finished flowering and the long seed pods are forming.

It looks like wheat but it's difficult to tell this time of the year.

Gate on the B1524

You can just see the old Lincoln Road going from left to right in the centre of this photograph. It was diverted to run slightly to the west when the A15 was built. The old road is marked as an "other route with public access" on the map. There are concrete bollards to stop cars at the start of this path several metres to the left. Here the land owner has "parked" a large piece of farm machinery to stop determined drivers using this gate.

The B1524, Lincoln Road

This seems to be the preferred the main route out of Market Deeping to the A15 and Peterborough. Note that it has been built on an embankment. A lot of roads are like this through the Fens, keeping routes open in case of flooding.

Field off Lincoln Road

This field sits between the new TF1408 : The B1524, Lincoln Road and the old Lincoln Road which is now a public access route popular with joggers, cyclists and walkers. See TF1408 : Gate on the B1524 The yellow signs advertising the Deeping Show were posted far and wide in this area.
