We are currently seeing the view from Grantham homes in Hornsby Road spoiled by buildings on Kinoulton Court.

This isn’t the first time. Back in 1982, residents in Fifth Avenue weren’t happy either….

Do you know these Grantham workmen?

TAKEN in about 1980, these lads were working in John Bullen’s scrapyard, later called Lincolnshire Processed Scrap Metal The company is still going strong, next to the former telephone exchange in Inner Street. In these days of recycling, it is ironic there are fewer such companies now than in the ‘wasteful’ 1950s, when companies such as Charles Spick, Larkinsons and George Drake also flourished. From left are, ‘Rabbit’, Steve Bavister, Mick ?, Vic Davenport, Jimmy Dowall, Jim Ablitt, Bob Gaskin & Keith ‘Dinger’ Bellamy, From Mrs Bavister
