Found down a backstreet in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Smart shops fronts hide the mess and confusion round the back!
The offices of the South Kesteven area of Lincolnshire are located in the middle of Grantham. This small grassed park is right outside.
Great to see the 'Lest we Forget' livery and the bay platform working again. Taken with my nearly new GFX50s, focussing on the still train was easy, moving trains were more of a challenge than a DSLR but not undoable and the file details and colours are significantly better...

The Parish Church of Saint Wulfram
The market town of Grantham is situated in the district of South Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire. It is located on the A1 and East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. It lies 23 miles south of the city of Lincoln and 22 miles east from the city of Nottingham.
Probably the main local landmark is the parish church of St Wulfram's, which is the third tallest church in England at 282ft, after St Walburgh in Preston, Lancashire and St James' Church in Louth, also in Lincolnshire.
The oldest part of the church is some Norman pillars in the eastern nave from an earlier cruciform church. The lady chapel and the crypt below it are from the 14th century. On the upper floor of the early 13th century south porch is an Elizabethan chained-library with books bequeathed by Francis Trigge, a local puritan clergyman, the library was founded in 1598 and is claimed to be the first public reference library in England.
The chancel contains a large and elaborate Reredos by Sir Arthur Bloomfield in 1883, which was enlarged by Sir Walter Tapper in 1901 when he added the outer border.
The west tower and spire, built between 1280 and 1300, have been described by many historians as the most perfect medieval steeple in England.

The Guildhall and jail on St Peter’s Hill in Grantham was commissioned in 1866 by Mayor Thomas Winter after a criminal, Jesse Dale, who was serving 15 years for stealing, twice walked out of the town’s original jail in 1864.
Set in the heart of the town, this Victorian building can be identified by its magnificent clock tower, today it is a lively arts centre, with theatre, music and workshops taking place, together with a coffee shop and our tourist information centre.
Grantham House
The Stable Block
Grantham House is located on Castlegate in the town, close to St Wulfram's Church. The house was originally built in 1380 and is one of the oldest buildings in Grantham. The house has been remodelled many times over the centuries and today has a grand Georgian facade. The building and gardens are owned and managed by the National Trust.
The stable block sits north of the main house and was built in the 16th century, along with the house it is Grade I listed.

... near Bottesford in Leicestershire,
I took this photo on a circular walk we did, starting at Muston, heading towards the canal and back. It was a lovely warm sunny day.
Gentle countryside between Grantham and Bowmandale, two small towns midway between Harrisburg ansd Gettysburg, made all the more charming by a carpet of fresh snow. I captured this scene on February 12, 1983 while visiting some friends who lived in Grantham.

At the rear or side of so many properties converted into offices or businesses are the emergency fire escapes required by modern legislation. Take a walk sometimes into the car parking they have at the back and lo-and-behold there will often be the obligatory fire escape! This one was on Avenue Road in Grantham.
