Pipe delivery This lorry is delivering pipe segments for Project SPAR - the Strategic Pipeline Alliance.  Anglian Water is arranging to pipe surplus water from Elsham in North Lincolnshire to Colchester in Essex, where there is a shortage.

As it happens, the lorry left again still loaded, as there was no crane to unload it.

The pipe sections, 900mm in diameter, will be welded to form the pipeline.  The river has been covered and sheeted over to prevent contamination, and the archaeology cleared.  You can't open the soil anywhere round here without finding Roman remains or Anglo Saxon burials.  Medieval Lincolnshire was like one enormous village, scatted across the whole wold.
