These fields are now Pyewipe Industrial Estate

This area to the West of Woad Lane remains as fields at present.

The A180 dual carriageway now passes near this point heading towards the point marked below.

This looks like a railway loop (forming a triangle) avoiding the docks. It is now a roadway, the Appian Way

Gilbey Road

Dock

Pyewipe

This railway line heading towards the top of the image actually takes a sharp right turn 180 degrees to head back to the Great Coates line.

This line heads towards the top of the image but actually takes a sharp loop to the left and then heads back down the image towards Ulceby.

This site is now occupied by a large educational establishment. John Whitgift Academy (formerly known as Whitgift School) is a co-educational secondary school with academy status.

This lovely line of trees remains. The land between this tree belt and Station Road has now been filled with housing.

Cromwell Road now passes over the River Freshney about here, heading towards Great Coates but not actually connecting to it. Cromwell Road forms a large loop containing a new housing estate.

The A180 dual carriageway passes under Woad Lane about here.

At this sharp corner, Woad Lane has been straightened, which gives these corner houses a short stretch of almost private roadway.

Moody Lane

Railway line. This continues to the left to join with the line through Great Coates station at Ulceby. The line serves many industrial premises.

Old Road - the current Great Coates Road now passes somewhat to the right, taking off this sharp bend.
