Our first visit to the pub since lock down had a fantastic curry and chilli and felt very COVID-19 safe.

My partner's sister, who teaches in Gainsborough, wanted to visit the centre, which is based in the old telephone exchange, with a view to taking a school party. We popped in on Saturday morning, and had a cheap and cheerful cuppa in the delightful little 'Exchange Tea Room' - free biscuits! - before exploring further. Staffed by charming and knowledgeable volunteers, this turned out to be an unexpected treasure trove of local history. They have three storeys of displays, artefacts and information, including a street scene. On the top floor you can see what was once a flat for the security guard, and still contains its original fireplace with cooking range. Gainsborough was once an important port, and later an equally important manufacturing centre - so the contents of this building are a fantastic resource for anyone wishing to delve into these areas of history; or to research their family history, as the archive includes the records of hundreds of people who were employed by the big companies in the past. I have no local links, but I found it a fascinating and delightful way to spend the morning, and have no doubt we will return.

Visited No. 12 on our way home from a visit to Lincolnshire after reading about their G&T chocolates on social media, made with local gin. What a fabulous shop and Paul, the owner was really helpful and friendly. Beautiful range of hand made chocolates, fudge and chocolate bars as well and lots of lovely gifts, cards and art. Also very cheap for such quality. Well worth a special visit if you are anywhere near here. First class.

This is our favourite place to bring our two dogs. Plenty of off the main track routes to explore, an area with a big pond for the dogs to swim in and the car park is reasonable. If it gets full there is still plenty of room to park on the grass verges.
