Holmes's Mill, Spilsbury Road
I come from a family of millers. This was our mill. Long since fallen out of our hands way before my time, and sadly derelict, I took a trip to visit it in 2018. Would love to see it restored one day.

Bain Valley Park
This new community park is due to open in Spring 2010. The District Council was awarded £850,000 by East Midlands Development Agency to transform this disused wasteland on the outskirts of Horncastle into parkland. The name was chosen by residents through a ballot.
The development includes a grassed open space for community events edged with a seating wall, landscaping, viewing platforms, footpaths, cycle ways and disabled car parking facilities.
The park will also provide a link between Hemingby Lane and the new Bell's Yard development off the Louth Road.

Oak Tree Meadow
It would be funny, if it were not so sad, to see how attempts are made to soften the encroachment of the countryside by modern housing, by giving the developments twee rustic-sounding names.

New Housing Estate, Horncastle
Housing right up to the pond edge and the nearest have already been sold.
As Entrepreneurs already know, before all the housing actually finished, is the right time to buy. You then get the best deal for your money.
