![Stickney and the site of a flax mill: aerial 2023. Mr W Mawer owned the steam powered linseed oil and flax mill (to the left of Midville Lane?), and a cast iron pipe was said to have been laid under the Public Footpath to carry water directly from the drain to feed the steam boiler at the mill. A large explosion occurred here in 1870 which started a fire that destroyed much of the farm buildings and most of the stack yard.See: http://www.stickneyhistory.co.uk/documents/footpaths.pdf and https://www.dur.ac.uk/east-lincs-history/investigations/the-rural-economy-between-the-fen-and-the-sea/[[7459845]] by Chris – 02 April 2023](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/45/97/7459797_463271c3_120x120.jpg)
