A New Welcome to Lincolnshire

Volunteers and residents have shared their delight after a life-size sculpture of a Lancaster Bomber was completed in Lincolnshire. For almost a decade, a group of trustees and supporters have been working hard to bring the 29m high monument to remember the Bomber Command crews to the parish of Norton Disney, ancestral home of Walt Disney. Eight miles from Hilltop Farm as the crow flies, this sculpture can be seen from Hilltop Farm, particularly when the light falls on it from the right direction. This sculpture is a gateway to Lincolnshire as you travel from Newark to Lincoln on the A46. This high profile site was destined to become an animal processing plant until a vigorous campaign by locals and archaeologists saved the day. It is adjacent to a Roman settlement and now a popular place for people to visit.
