Visiting Redbourne

Good morning. Another new day dawns. I was hoping to get this post out last night, but after a busy day, first there was Coffee Morning, then I had a drive out to Redbourne, I was too tired to add the words to the pictures. So here we are, all bright and bushy tailed after a good sleep. 

I briefly visited Redbourne in August 2010. Blimey, was it that long ago. It is to be found a few miles south of Brigg on the B1206, a mile or two past Hibaldstow. There is a convenient place to park near the pub and next to the pond. 

I used to visit all the pubs in the area when I ran a singles club. The Red Lion was a particular favourite of the members. Here is the menu if you fancy a visit. 

The old Fire Station is attached to the side of the pub. 

There is a little park opposite the pub with picnic benches if you wish to eat your own food. The information board gives details of the nearby Hibaldstow Airfield. Pity it is covered in bird droppings. Anyone with a bucket of water and a scrubbing brush nearby. 

It was afternoon and the first place I looked at was St Andrews Church. I will do a separate post about that. This is the gatehouse entrance to Redbourne Hall. I spy another building at the back of it. 

I sneak around to have a look. There is nobody about, it looks like the gatehouse is empty. So what is this building around the back. 

I peak inside through the windows. It's like a glorified shed. A place to store furniture. It may have been used as a function room for parties and celebrations. Very interesting. 

And this is Redbourne Hall. Research tells me it is divided into flats. There is a video made by the estate agents when one of them came up for sale nine months ago. Take a look inside. 

A bimble around the village before I set off back home. The building through the gate is the old school. Now a private residence. 

Lots of lovely cottages around here. Also lots of big posh family houses I might add. 

This is the grand entrance to some of those posh houses. 

Ooooh heck, who's that. Look at the state of that woman. 😎😆😝 Skirt and loose fitting baggy bottoms are out of the closet. So comfortable to walk in. 

Thursday morning and it's sunny again. I may spend time in the garden today. Time for breakfast, and I'll check the church video and get that uploaded onto yoootooob. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
