Lincolnshire is a largely rural county, which was reflected in the early history of the railway lines. This book explores the history of the railways in Lincolnshire, starting with the very early days when it was expected that Lincoln would be on a main line to the north, only to lose out to what we now know as the East Coast Main Line.
Focusing on the resilient farmers of Lincolnshire, this work captures their transformation of the landscape through centuries of hard work and adaptation. Author Alan Stennett shares first-hand accounts from local residents, revealing the evolution of farming life over the past century. Through engaging narratives and a rich collection of contemporary photographs, he highlights the conditions, labor, and camaraderie of those who cultivate the land, preserving their stories for future generations.
