The old tannery in Eastgate, Bourne, Lincolnshire
The tannery trade which brought prosperity to Bourne in past centuries was centred on the Eastgate area which gave access to a constant water supply from the Bourne Eau which runs through the area. Several businesses thrived there and the owners built fine properties for their work and homes although these here have since been converted into apartments.

The Anchor Inn
I was hoping to take a closeup of the old Admiralty-style anchor hung on the wall of this inn. It's not there. If you look closely it is on the patio, visible leaning on the little wall there.

Aircraft hangars get new lease of life at Bourne, Lincolnshire
Disused aeroplane hangars which were dismantled and moved to Bourne by road from an airfield in Norfolk after the First World War were re-erected for use as a fertiliser factory in Cherryholt Road and are still in use today as a trading estate.

Tiny house
This tiny house was built in the 21st century, and is dwarfed by the victorian workman's cottages beyond, which would normally be considered small.

The Anchor, Eastgate
The Bourne Eau was navigable, and improved after an act of 1781 allowed for the building of locks. Navigation extended past the old warehouses in Cherry Holt Road up to about this point, where the car Dyke and the Eau meet in a wide basin. There were warehouses all along the southern edge of Eastgate (one, now a house, can be seen beyond the pub).
The pub dates back to the navigable era: the name gives it away. The ceilings inside are too low for a Victorian building, it is at least 18th century. The building was thatched until the 20th century.
Navigation on the Eau ended in the 1860s when the lock-like junction with the Glen at Tongue End.
There is a good description of navigation on the Eau here:

The Anchor Inn at Bourne, Lincolnshire
The ancient Anchor Inn stands near what used to be the Eastgate quayside in past centuries when the Bourne Eau was navigable and boatmen arriving aboard cargo ships and barges provided a regular clientele for the hostelry.
