The 'Parliamentary Borough Boundary' running down the B1190 and then turning here between the Cow Paddle and Old Cemetery is shown on the OS maps up to 1950. It appears to have been defined along with the Canwick Enclosure award in 1787 and was in place until 1967 when it was revised to its current position along the B1190 Washingborough Road to encompass the sewage works. The Crematorium was built in 1968 but I don't know if this had any influence on the boundary change.
