The infant Witham is in the foreground. Old Post Lane runs north to south along the horizon, above the level of the fields beyond the hedge in the middle of the picture, which were from 1920-33 the rail-served Colsterworth No 1 Quarry. The reddish quarry face - shown on the OS Map - can be seen to the right of the telegraph pole; further to the right it is overgrown by bushes. See other photos nearby for more on the ironstone quarries and railways around Colsterworth and Woolsthorpe.
