New FOR SALE section added

I have decided to offer up some of the surplus postcards that have come into my possession over the years. They are all in really good condition and whilst they are not of Bassingham itself, they depict villages close by and might represent homes and views that some of you might know.

You can either click the link here or use the main menu to find the relevant page.

Carlton le Moorland Mill postcards added

Carlton Mill in 1911 (photographer almost certainly Kennewell).

My thanks go to John Brogan for lending me some postcards to show the demise of the windmill at Carlton. I include these because the subject cropped up in discussion of what happened to Bassingham’s windmills. All very interesting!

Click the picture and scroll to the end of the page to read about the mill and see the postcards.

Another postcard added

c1912 postcard of The Bugle Horn, Lincoln Road (CPC postcard)

I have now acquired my own copy of an early postcard of “The Bugle Horn“. I’d already seen one or two examples of it online and in a book, but had never managed to track one down – until now.

You can read a history of the oldest pub in the village by clicking the picture or by going to the ‘BUILDINGS’ section of this website.

Merry Christmas!

Here’s wishing all visitors to my website a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 🎅
