SAUNDBY: Bassetlaw Parish #41 of 66

A small one for you today – the first in a batch of nine parishes along the Western side of the River Trent in Bassetlaw. This first one is connected to the town of Gainsborough via Trent Bridge, a William Weston structure which links the historic counties of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. At that point you will find a pub, The Trent Port, and a footpath along the riverbank. What I didn’t know was that you will also come across something called the Beckingham Flood Reservoir which is a set of fields designed to capture floodwater from the Trent when it overspills its banks. For that reason, the A631 is known as The Flood Road! Into the main village and there’s not a lot to see if I’m honest. This is nothing much more than just a collection of farms and houses really but it does have some interesting history. For one, there’s the Aerodrome, which was based on some land to the South of The Flood Road, which 33 Squadron used as a “Landing Ground” during WWI. There was also a Mink Farm here, and a cheese factory, which was set up as a way to use up milk supplies for schools when canteens were closed. The village does have a church too, although this is one that you need permission to access (ideally!) as it stands right next to a working farmyard. In all, not a bad little place, you just need to do some digging to find the interesting stuff. This is SAUNDBY. **** My name is Andy.
