Branston and Heighington railway station (site), Lincolnshire
Opened in 1882 by the Great Northern and Great Eastern Railways on their joint line from Sleaford to Lincoln, the station closed in 1964. Building on the site was under-way when this image was taken, view north from Station Road bridge (which is in Heighington). The slight hump by the track on the right is probably the degraded remains of the platform.

Public Footpath out of Heighington
A view of the public footpath accessed via Garratt Close then over the common-land and by going over the railway bridge. This path leads onto the oddly named Pudding Busk Lane that runs from Potterhanworth Road to Branston/Station Road.

St.Thomas' church
Grade II listed building with an interesting history. The tower is clearly medieval and has a Norman tower arch with waterleaf capitals, but was in decay by 1619 when Fen Drainage Adventurer Thomas Garrett founded a chapel of ease to Washingborough. In 1865 Michael Drury adapted the fabric to become the village school, a function continued until the mid-1970s. It is now a place of worship and the Thomas Garrett Heritage Room
