The small town of Caistor sits high up on the Lincolnshire Wolds, an area of exceptional beauty. In recent years the town has undergone a lot of renovation work and is now a really pretty little town, well worth a visit. In 2011 it was voted as the best kept small market town in the "Lincolnshire best kept village and small towns competition"
These photographs were taken in August 2012.

Closed as it was half-day, a tradition no longer retained in larger towns but something
I remember fondly from my childhood.

For the photographers amongst you, these images were all taken on my Panasonic DMC FZ150 camera.
I also use a Canon EOS 400 SLR but find the FZ150 bridge camera lighter to carry and far more versatile.
