Located just North of the Lincoln Bypass, somewhere midway between Greetwell and Nettleham. This compound is visually screened from most directions by a combination of sloping terrain and copses of trees. This photograph was taken from the Lincoln Bypass itself, between the A15 and A158 roundabouts, the pumpjacks ("nodding donkeys") emerging through the bare trees. This apparatus did not seem to be in action at the time of photographing.
