Langworth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Langworth is a small village in Lincolnshire about 7 miles north-east of Lincoln in the United Kingdom.

The central spine of the village is the A158 Lincoln - Skegness road, on which are two public houses, a village store/post office and two garages. There was once a railway station, but this has long since closed. The railway line still runs through the village however, crossing the A158 at a level crossing. Langworth's Boulters primary school closed in 1989, when its pupils transferred to the newly-built Ellison Boulters School in neighbouring Scothern.

Langworth's propensity for flooding (which was particularly bad in June and July of 2007) is of some note, particularly in recent years. The Barlings Eau waterway features regularly amongst flood warnings on the Environment Agency website at times of heavy rain, and the same website shows the extent of the flood plain (Flood risk map).
