This unassuming little lane on the edge of Louth seems to follow the line of the old "Barton Street". The main road, the A18, sidesteps to join the A16 at Ludborough, leaving the old road to continue as a minor road, parallel to the A16, as far as Utterby. Here, this minor road turns left to link with the A16 in Utterby village. The old line of the Barton Street carries on, but now reduced to a bridleway, and then a footpath, which eventually turns into Fanthorpe Lane. See: Image (old Barton Street at Utterby).
