Although no ground fighting took place on British soil, the relics of these defences represent battlefields that were prepared, but 2 thankfully never needed.

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.

 Wherever you wander in the Heart of Lincolnshire you’ll find yourself walking in historic footsteps.

elebrating Heritage Open Days this year are our four NKDC visitor venues: Cogglesford C Watermill in is thought to be the only Sheriff’s watermill still operating in – millers have produced flour on this site for more than a thousand years. Milling takes place on the second Sunday of the month, and the flour produced is stocked in the charming gift shop. We will be producing a free family trail which links with nearby Navigation House, a short five-minute walk along the River. Navigation House was built as the office for the Canal Company in 1838, and was at the heart of Sleaford’s Cogglesford Watermill, Sleaford growing fortunes as goods came and went by canal. A refurbished Grade II listed gem, it has a heritage theme covering the early development of the new River Slea and portrays the story of the Navigation and its significant impact on Sleaford’s history. The impressive gift shop is stocked with items made by local craftspeople. Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum has a rotating programme of fascinating exhibitions at its core, with a special mini exhibition in place for Heritage Open Days exploring ‘learning at Cranwell’. Located in the shadow of the iconic RAF College, it principally portrays the fascinating story of this most historic and iconic establishment from its early days more than a century ago. The experience includes a Jet Provost flight simulator, Vampire Nose Pod, interactive displays and artefacts, making the ideal launchpad to discover the rest of Lincolnshire’s airfields and aviation attractions. This year there will be a fantastic opportunity to have a first look at the work done so far to Mrs Smith’s Cottage in Navenby. Closed in 2012 due to structural issues and deterioration of the building, NKDC have been working to restore this unique ‘time capsule’ with support from HLF, and are planning to open to visitors in 2020. Mrs Smith lived in the cottage until her death aged 102 in 1995, and it offers a unique insight into life in Lincolnshire in the early 1900s. Through her carefully preserved diaries, we know what she enjoyed doing, how she decorated her home and how things were in Navenby at that time. Places are extremely limited and so booking is essential. For further information, please visit www.heartoflincs.com or call our Tourism Team on 01529 308102. 
