Mareham Lane, SLEAFORD, NG34 7JP

Hotel on Mareham Lane named after the Carre family, landowners in this area in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Sleaford East Signal Box and the railway crossing close to Sleaford's railway station are all immediately behind the photographer and as such are a mere stone's throw away from this pub and function venue, The Carre Arms Hotel. The right-hand turning leads prospective customers into an Aldi supermarket car park.

The main site entrance off Mareham Lane, with the managers' houses lining the driveway and the nearest of the pavilions in the distance. The site was purchased by Bass, Ratcliff & Greeton Ltd in 1901 and the building work was completed 6 years later. All the buildings (and ancillary brickwork including these gate piers) are Grade II-listed.

The entrance to the Bass Maltings site is here on Mareham Lane, seen on a very dull morning. Although these substantial houses, originally built for the more senior employees, seem well looked after, the maltings themselves have been derelict for about 20 years despite proposals for regeneration.

A pair of secured entrance gates on the north side of the Sleaford-Rauceby section of the railway track leading to a former industrial area (?) Since the route ahead is an easterly one and given that the road (?) is on the north side of the main railway line (i.e. the 'wrong' side of the track for a direct link with the former Bass Maltings - off Mareham Lane) perhaps this is not a former link with the Maltings? These gates are situated at the side of an 'old' semi-detached house on the "Sleaford town centre side" of the main Skegness-Nottingham line.

A number of the former managers' houses lining the driveway with the nearest of the malting pavilions in the distance. The site was purchased by Bass, Ratcliff & Greeton Ltd in 1901 and the building work was completed 6 years later. These homes for senior employees and their families were some of the last buildings to have been completed. All the buildings on the site are Grade II-listed.
