Newton Tower

Newton water tower is so well kept in its own grounds that when it features on Grand Designs in a few years from now all the new owners will have to do is move in.

Missing House

This piece of land is sandwiched between two other properties and appears to have been overlooked, at least for now, by the developers.

The lake acts as a water hazard between holes - anglers beware!

Outbuildings at Manor Hill Farm.

There appears to be neither Manor nor Hill at this prosperous 19th century farm deep in the flatlands of South Holland, Lincolnshire.

Shire Drain, near Tydd St Giles

This was a medieval drain which ran through the North Level into the Nene washes. It was also called Lady Nunne's Old Eau, after the wife of local nobleman. It was replaced, in 1828. by the much wider, deeper and straighter North Level Main Drain. In places, the Shire Drain is scarcely discernible, but here it is clear and still functioning, particularly after heavy late winter rains.
