Although no ground fighting took place on British soil, the relics of these defences represent battlefields that were prepared, but 2 thankfully never needed. Much survives along Lincolnshire’s coast heaps from salt making, an industry that as an evocative reminder of the desperate was widespread along the Lincolnshire days of 1940.

The fortifications built to protect Britain against German invasion began in June 1940 as a consequence of the defeat of the British Expeditionary Force in France and the evacuation at Dunkirk. On the south and east coast the ‘Coastal Crust’ was designed to be the first line of defence against invasion; it involved many types of structure, some of which can still be seen at Freiston Shore. Pillboxes, searchlight batteries, anti-tank structures and machine gun posts. Gun emplacements were camouflaged as bungalows, ice-cream parlours or chicken sheds and linear marks bisecting fields are probably anti-landing trenches dug to prevent aircraft landing.

    Former workings in Jurassic ironstone near Grantham Geoffrey Warrington Abstract: The Lower Jurassic Marlstone Rock Formation was formerly worked for ironstone near Denton (SE Lincolnshire), and the Middle Jurassic Northampton Sand Formation near Hungerton and Colsterworth (SE Lincolnshire) and Saltby (NE Leicestershire), southwest and south of Grantham. Two ammonites from the Northampton Sand Formation at Hungerton are illustrated. Four ironstone quarries near Grantham (Fig. 1) were below the Whitby Mudstone Formation (formerly Upper visited during an excursion from the British Association Lias). The ironstone, a slightly calcareous sideritic ore, meeting in Nottingham in 1966. One, at Denton Park in was greenish-black when unweathered, and whitish or SE Lincolnshire, was worked for the Marlstone Rock grey-brown when weathered. Cross-bedding indicated Formation (Upper Pliensbachian – Toarcian; formerly an easterly transport direction, similar to that recorded the Marlstone Rock Bed). The others, at Colsterworth and Hungerton in SE Lincolnshire and Saltby in NE Leicestershire, were worked for the Northampton Sand Formation (Aalenian; formerly the Northampton Sand Ironstone Formation). The lithostratigraphic nomenclature follows Cox et al. (1999) and Carney et al. (2004), with equivalents used in older literature given in parenthesis at the first mention. The Denton and Hungerton sites are now infilled, but exposures remained at Colsterworth and Saltby in 2008. Photographs taken in 1966 record a once- important extractive industry in its last years. (All grid references cited below are [SK]). Denton Park Pit, in Marlstone Rock The history of working at Denton Park [857317], the most easterly of the quarries in this formation in the Woolsthorpe area, was documented by Tonks (1992).

But by the tender age of 28 he had experienced more than many of us see in the whole of our lives. He was born during the First World War at Lansdowne, Spilsby Road, Horncastle, the fourth child of six and the eldest son. His father was an auctioneer and land agent and came from a family of factors or land agents who had started in Perthshire. His great grandfather, George Bell, had secured the post of resident land agent on the Revesby Estate in 1842 bringing his family to Lincolnshire. His quick open mind fostered an interest in a wide variety of subjects including, centrally, agriculture. It was his perseverance that kept Horncastle cattle market going (perhaps beyond its natural life).
