Description: | THIS SECTION OF THIS ROAD RUNS FROM LINCOLN TO NEWBALL. FROM THE EAST GATE OF LINCOLN A MAIN ROAD WAS LAID OUT APPARENTLY WITH THE DUAL PURPOSE OF GIVING DIRECT ACCESS TO THE WOLDS DISTRICT TO THE NORTH-EAST, AND THEN, BY SWINGING ROUND THROUGH EAST TO SOUTH-EAST, TO APPROACH THE NORTHERN SHORE OF THE WASH AT A POINT ALMOST OPPOSITE THE TERMINUS OF PEDDARS WAY AT HOLME ON THE NORFOLK COAST. LEAVING LINCOLN BY THE WRAGBY ROAD THE ALIGNMENT IS FOLLOWED RIGIDLY, SLIGHTLY EAST OF NORTH-EAST FOR 6 MILES TO LANGWORTH, AS A FINE RAISED ROAD, AND PARISH BOUNDARIES ACCOMPANY IT. JUST BEFORE THE RAILWAY CROSSING IS REACHED, THE PRESENT ROAD DIVERGES SLIGHTLY TO THE SOUTH AND THE ALIGNMENT IS MARKED BY A HEDGEROW WITH CLEAR TRACES OF THE AGGER, RUNNING BEHIND THE HOUSES OF THE VILLAGE TO THE POINT WHERE A STREAM CROSSES IT. JUST BEYOND THIS THE MAIN ROAD COMES ON TO THE LINE AGAIN AS FAR AS BULLINGTON. {1}, LENGTH 14.1 KM | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 409 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
