Quarried pasture land, Sewstern
Buckminster Ironstone quarry no 8, active (approx) between 1937 and 1948. The quarry workings were allowed quite close to the village. Although this is a modern farm building it might have replaced another that determined the edge of the quarry working. Reference - E Tonks, The Ironstone Quarries of the Midlands, Part 8, South Lincolnshire.

Quarried Landscape
Although looking like a standard pony paddock between 1937 and 1948 this area was quarry no8 in the Buckminster Ironstone Quarries scheme and a connecting railway would have lain in this field. See Image The cap stone on the distant wall denote the railway bridge that allows passage under Sewswtern Main Street.

Cap stones on a wall
Unless you know the past geographical history of this area you would think that these are just standard wall cappings but if you scraped away the soil on the other side of the wall you would find that this is a railway bridge for the ironstone quarries that were worked in this parish. A book by Eric Tonks on the Ironstone Quarries of the Midlands Pt 8 South Midlands has two photographs Pg 24 of the cut being dug 1947 and another of the Locomotive travelling through floods in 1953. Looking over the wall you will see the undulations of the land and it is noteworthy to see how close to the village properties the quarrying was allowed to get. Remediation work allowed the land to be returned to agriculture.
