North Kelsey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Kelsey is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 959. Also within the parish is the small hamlet of North Kelsey Moor. It is near Caistor.

North Kelsey has an Anglican church, All Hallows or St. Nicholas, a village hall, a post office, a primary school and a couple of pubs. The New Mill windmill can also be seen.

The nearby village of Hibaldstow can be reached by crossing Hibaldstow Bridge, an iron lattice girder bridge built in 1889 that spans the River Ancholme. The single track leading to the bridge from North Kelsey, known as Starham Road, is not asphalted and can be dangerous during adverse weather conditions as it runs parallel to the embankment. Peculiarly, The AA Route Planner service still recommends it as the best route between the two villages, instead of choosing the longer but most sensible alternative through Brigg.
