Population 42,000 with a Metro of nearly 50,000
I think Grantham is very green...I think there is at least one tree for every building!
Its history per capita is amazing
Isaac Newton was born on the outskirts and he lived and grew up in Grantham, He went to the Â'Kings SchoolÂ' which is also where I went!
Margaret Thatcher was born here!
The worldsÂ' first police woman was part of the Grantham Police.
Was a major manufacture of shells and ammunition during WWII, many houses still bare the scars of salvages from out army, metal fences taken etc.; the town was heavily bombed by German planesÂ…but all is well and out twin town is non other than Sankt Augustin Germany.
Some scenes from the film Â'The HauntingÂ' were shot here at Harlaxton Manor.
Belvoir CastleÂ…is old!
I waded through nettles and dead rabbits to get this shot, Grantham skyline
Beverly Hills areaÂ…ThatÂ's what I call the place anyway.
Marriot HotelÂ…There are actually three 5 Star hotels in small Grantham.
Industrial Park
The Â'Rough AreaÂ'

Beautiful area, bust a few hundred meters from the town centre.
I canÂ't spell his nameÂ…But this guy was a big politician over 100 years ago
Dead on a SundayÂ…the Isaac Newton Shopping CentreÂ…Note the huge Clock with the Lion and apple tree!
A top hotelÂ…was where public executions took place years ago
I did an entire project in art on this street, so whenever I see it memories come flooding back!
