THE GREEN

 

Work began on the by-pass in the early 1930s.  It was completed by 1939/1940.   During the war years only one half of the dual carriageway was opened.  The one side was used for storing tanks.  Prior to the by-pass being completed the route from Bawtry to Gainsborough would have taken travellers along Gringley High Street.

 

Fields and pond where the dual carriageway now runs. View from the Beacon towards Clayworth
