A review about my village of Kirton in Lindsey.
On 27th feb 2008 Kirton had an earthquake of 5.2 on the ricter scale.

I have lived here since I was 5, when I was younger I didn't really like living here as I always had to rely on the local bus service to take me anywhere and to be honest it's not that good, well the times aren't that good either too early or too late.
Now I'm older I find it a lovely place. Its fairly quite unless a lorry drives by the house or a loud Motorbike, and there's not really any crime if you don't include the fact the Local bank just had it's machine robbed out of the wall.

I also find it good because it's about 45mins drive from some fairly big towns if I ever want to go out for the day and don't want to go to far.

Kirton in Lindsey is a small town situated approximately 10 miles from Scunthorpe and 16 miles from Lincoln. It is near the A15 which leads to the M180 motorway which goes to towns such as Grimsby, Doncaster and Sheffield all within a 45 minute drive.

In the Village there are a few places to visit these include

The Mount Pleasant Windmill (on North Cliff Road) there is a tea room here for a quick snack and tea,
The Garden Centre,
The RAF Camp,
Town Hall,
And the local Saint Andrews Church

In Kirton there are plenty of shops these include

A good sized Co-op which sells general food and drink,
Mills a newsagents which sells mags, food, drinks, cards etc (cash machine here)
Holts a general store which is open until about 10pm most nights,
A Butcher and a Bakery,
There are Four hairdressers, 3 are in the high street and the other is in the lower part of the village.
There are a couple of furniture shops too. One specializing in kitchen units.

If you find your self here there are plenty of food places to

A Chip Shop (high street)
A Chinese (high street)
An Indian restaurant and take away (high street)
And a pizza shop (Bottom of station road)

There are 4 pubs theses are

The Royal Oak
The Queen's Head
The First and Last
The George Hotel (This is now a pub restaurant )

Other places include an optician, library, a pottery and a HSBC bank also there is a local skip in my village for when your house bins get to full with the new bin collections because they only collect every other week now.

There is a Comprehensive School here for the 11 to 16 yr olds, and a primary school for the younger ones, and there are two children's nursery to.

Scunthorpe is the closet big town and it has most things you`d expect in a town along with a museum, cinema and there is Normanby Hall a country park/stately home which has Deers and Peacocks and a tea room and shop.

Lincoln has got the Cathederal and Castle to visit if you ever find yourself in my Village, I would recomend my village as a place to either live in if you find yourself wanting to live in this area or for visiting.

Summary: Nice Place to Live
