Woolsthorpe Manor Car Park - former ironstone quarry
The roof and gables of Newton's birthplace are glimpsed to the right. The visitor car park is on the restored site of the entrance to the huge Colsterworth No 2 Extension ironstone quarry (1935-69), one of the quarries which once encircled Woolsthorpe. No 2 Extension quarry once covered most of gridsquare SK9123. The quarry railway once crossed Old Post Lane on a level crossing immediately behind where I stood to take this picture. The smaller No 2 quarry (1927-32) was to the east of the lane, as were the engine sheds and workshops (a new housing development is currently being built on their site). See other photos nearby for more on the Colsterworth quarries and railways and the High Dyke Branch.

Woolsthorpe: site of quarry railway level crossing
The Colsterworth Quarries railway crossed Old Post Lane here until quarrying ceased in 1973. The crossing gates were apparently of mainline standard; the hedge marks their position. Newton's birthplace, Woolsthorpe Manor, is in the background. See other photos nearby for more on the quarries and railways in the area.

Quiet times at Colsterworth Football Club
It seems that on occasions the goalkeeper is less than busy and has time for a sit down.
