Branston, Bus

One of the first buses (Silver Queen) to serve Branston, seen here at Branston cross roads pointing along Station Road towards Heighington.

It appears to have come from Sleaford and to be heading for Lincoln. The destination board on the front reads: LINCOLN via Washingborough, Heighington, Branston, Metheringham, Blankney, Scopwick, Digby, Dorrington and Ruskington.

The tall building behind it is the Post Office.

Heighington, Curtis's Lorries

This photograph was taken on 7 August 1954 and shows the post-Second World War fleet of Curtis's lorries in Mill Field. The furthest eight appear to be ex-army vehicles.

This is now the site of the Primary School with, in the background, houses on the south side of Washingborough Road.

Heighington, Motor Lorries

Some of the earliest motor lorries belonging to the watermill in Heighington.

The man second to the left is Bert Scott.
