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.

The River Bain, Horncastle
I can't believe this used to be my favourite fishing spot on the river. The bank was overgrown with elderberry and other small trees and nearby poplars. The weeds grew high and provided a perfect backdrop and windbreak.

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.

Little Pit, Horncastle
I've always known this secluded fishing pond as the Little Pit. I fished it many times in the past, but never thought that one day it would have houses up to the water's edge. The River Bain runs close by.
