More about this scene
At the end of South Gate is the Market Place, which has on its east side one of Lincolnshire's finest churches. Here, where South Gate meets North Gate, are the town's finest commercial buildings, such as the HSBC bank of 1903 on the left and the Sessions House of 1830 in Gothick style with a pointed arched ground arcade.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Remember this being built (original buildings 1604) - chased Mark Wallington across the freshly laid concrete (he was a cheeky beggar) and as we ‘splodged’ through the wet concrete, with the workmen shouting after us, l yelled “Keep going ..!!”. He went on to captain Leicester City whilst l (in the RAF) was merely ‘scouted’ at the same time Peter Shilton was there ..!
PS. My mother (Nora/Lynn) was District Nurse and Midwife from circa 1962/63 to 79/80.
Two of my Grandmothers brothers are listed on this memorial. They were killed within 25 days of one another in July 1916 Frederick William Lill killed in France and Arthur Lill, killed in Belgium
I am trying to recall a memory of a school religious play I appeared in as the lead part, Annas. Ray Pearson played the part of my son Caiphas. The play was filmed on Cine-camera & produced by Harry Ison the school Scripture teacher.
Hi there,
Anyone out there who went to the Sec Mod from 1964 to 1970. I was in 1A1, etc all the way through the GCE classes. I was also Head Boy in 1969-70 (not much choice I know).
Does anyone also remember the Christmas plays - my last role was Bill Sykes in Oliver and had a great time in other pantomimes in previous years.
We had some great characters in the year - Richard Houghton, Kevin ...see more
