Packhorse bridge at Northbeck, known locally as Roman Bridge, probably due to its proximity to Mareham Lane. Sometimes said to date from 1250, but most likely built in the 17th century and not technically a packhorse bridge as it's about 3m wide. The ford through North Beck has been replaced by a road and the bridge restored by Lincolnshire County Council in 2004.
