Waltham is a fairly large village in North East Lincolnshire. It has some nice buildings and features, unfortunately on the day I visited the weather was a bit gloomy.
 |
The High Street, Waltham. |
 |
This old cottage is a very well known in the village. It's been recently renovated and now needs to weather a little to get back some of the character of the old building. |
 |
The Kings Head, quite a large establishment on the High Street. |
 |
This display is at the side of the florists shop. |
 |
Waltham has a lot of horses in the surrounding area and so this establishment is well sited. |
 |
Newtons Tearooms, the cottage adjacent is Newtons Cottage, a holiday rental. |
 |
Quite a new memorial in the centre of Waltham. |
 |
This hairdressers was having a facelift and I got a cheery wave from the builder inside! |
 |
His & Hers? A recent modernisation to an older building along Kirkgate. I'm pleased to say the design, although modern, is sympathetic and quite in keeping with the village. |
 |
All Saints Church on the main road through the village as you approach the High Street. |

Looking from the High Street across the road to Kirkgate. |
 |
Waltham Library, a modern building. |
 |
As you leave the centre of the village, but still within the boundary of Waltham, is the "Waltham Windmill" site. The renovated 6 sailed mill is in full working order and open to the public on weekends in the summer and Bank Holidays. There are some specialist shops on site and a very nice tearoom in an old railway carriage. Special events take place on site and there is a miniature railway too. |
 |
The tearoom. |
 |
Quite a nice display on the end of the carriage. |
 |
One of the specialist shops on site. |
 |
The view from the fields showing the 6 sails. |
 |
A few old millstones left round the back of the mill. |
 |
The whole site was a bomber airfield during WW2 and this is one of the few remaining reminders from that period. Probably a barrack room? |
 |
The Grimsby & Cleethorpes Model Engineering Society's permanent site for their engines. On Bank Holidays and special events they give rides around their fairly extensive tracks.
