The line of the former Bourne & Sleaford Railway
The Bourne & Sleaford Railway arose out of a proposal by the Great Eastern Railway to open a line from Cambridge to York, via Essendine, Bourne, Sleaford and Lincoln. Parliament though refused to authorise it. The Great Northern Railway had already proposed the Bourne to Sleaford section and opened this in 1872.
The line closed to passengers in 1930, although the section from Bourne through Rippingale to Billingborough remained open for goods until 1964. This section of line had therefore been closed 50 years when I photographed it. The line followed the left hand side of this field on its way to Rippingale - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3966050

The road to Sempringham, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The best route to Sempringham church is along the A15 and then fork off on the B1177 north of Bourne, taking the second left turn at Pointon village and then look out for this blue sign alongside a farm track on the left hand side. You will then face almost a mile of uneven cart track but a glimpse of the pinnacled tower of the Norman church is always with you behind trees on the horizon, a lonely landmark on a hillock among cultivated fields, and soon the winding road will bring you to its door.
