More Garden flowers.

This is the last set of Spring flowers from my garden, 2016.

Every garden HAS TO HAVE ONE!

The Greenwich Meridian line, Cleethorpes.

The Greenwich Meridian runs from the North Pole to the South pole separating the eastern hemisphere from the western hemisphere.  It crosses Great Britain, first at Withernsea on the Yorkshire coast, then it crosses the Humber Estuary and passes right through Cleethorpes, my home town. 

There is a stainless steel strip of metal set into the pathway along the beach at it's exact point.  Here are a few photo's of the location.

The information board has all the facts, if you care to view

this image large you can read about it.

This is the location of "the line" viewed looking South.

As kids we used to straddle the line as that meant you had one foot in the east of the world

and the other in the west.  People still do this today!

This recently erected stone globe has the inscription below it saying that "The World revolves

around Cleethorpes".

A closer view shows "the line" clipping the east coast of England at Cleethorpes.  It also

illustrates just how far north Cleethorpes is, nearer to the Arctic Circle than the equator!

A signpost tells how far Cleethorpes is from a variety of points on Earth.

Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway.

This railway operates along the foreshore at Cleethorpes.  It's a narrow gauge railway with a variety of locomotives.

A few more Spring flowers from my garden.

Kingston Upon Hull, some statues and shops.

A war memorial to remember the men from Hull who died in the South African War.

I like to photograph any dogs I see when out & about.

I'm always on the lookout for unusual shops and this "wig shop" fits the bill.

Spring flowers.

I took these pictures earlier in the Spring, in my garden.

Snake Head Fritillaries.

Kingston Upon Hull (1st set of many!)

I'm back, sorry for the absence.  The title of this blog indicates that it depicts my wonderful county of Lincolnshire.  Well, that's true but my son & I occasionally wonder outside the border to foreign parts!  These images were taken over the Humber Estuary in Kingston Upon Hull.  Known over there as"Gods own County"........ Yorkshire!  We slipped in, got the pictures and slipped out! 

We took a LOT of pictures and I'll feed them in from time to time.

This 1st set are taken as we exited the shopping centre where we parked our car.

A few street pics.

St. Stephen's shopping centre, a recent development in Hull.
