A cache near Langrick Bridge
The name Langrick appears to come from "Long Creek"
Langrick's importance was that it was the site of a ferry crossing over the River Witham, reputedly built by Robert Dymoke. The river was straightened in 1833.
A steel bridge was built just west of the ferry site in 1909 and is still in use today.
There actually used to be a railway line where the cafe is.
The site of the old station house is now occupied by a Cafe. The station had two brick platforms immediately east of the level crossing on Ferry Road. The main building stood at right angles to the platform, with the booking office behind the station masters house which led to a waiting room facing onto the "up" platform. The signal box was sited at the east end of the station
The Water Rail Way is a cycle route (number one) which follows the line of the former Lincoln to Boston railway line, including Langrick.
