Car Dyke
The Car Dyke was, and to a large extent still is, an long ditch which runs along the western edge of the Fens in eastern England. It is generally accepted as being of Roman invasion of Britain, Roman age and, for many centuries, to have been taken as marking the western edge of the Fens. There, the consensus begins to break down. Likely purpose In the eighteenth century, William Stukeley described it as a canal used for transporting goods and his idea is still promulgated: For example, excavations at Waterbeach in the 1990s by the archaeology unit of Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire County Council found what were seen as the remains of a Roman Britain, Roman-era boat and cargo of pottery from Horningsea. This stretch has been protected as a scheduled monument. Other archaeological investigations near Boston, Lincolnshire, Boston have given an indication of the dimensions: a navigable width of and a depth of were found during excavation.

Morton And Hanthorpe
__NOTOC__ Morton and Hanthorpe is a civil parish, formerly known as Morton by Bourne in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated north from Bourne, and south-east from Grantham. According to the 2011 Census the parish had a population of 2,406.

The church and the later signs of the manorial centre are in Morton. The church is built in the Early English ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Public House
A pub (short for public house) is a kind of drinking establishment which is licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises. The term ''public house'' first appeared in the United Kingdom in late 17th century, and was used to differentiate private houses from those which were, quite literally, open to the public as "alehouses", "taverns" and "inns". By Georgian times, the term had become common parlance, although taverns, as a distinct establishment, had largely ceased to exist by the beginning of the 19th century. Today, there is no strict definition, but CAMRA states a pub has four characteristics:GLA Economics, Closing time: London's public houses, 2017 # is open to the public without membership or residency # serves draught beer or cider without requiring food be consumed # has at least one indoor area not laid out for meals # allows drinks to be bought at a bar (i.e., not only table service) The history of pubs can be traced to Roman taverns in B ...
