About Grantham - show infohide info

Grantham is a small market town in Lincolnshire, England with about 40,000 inhabitants. Situated on the River Witham, it has the East Coast Main Line (between the stops for Peterborough and Newark Northgate) and the A1 main road from London to Edinburgh running past it (the town was bypassed in 1962). The main shopping High Street, until recently, was part of the busy A52, which runs to nearby Nottingham. During the 1980s the town was twice voted 'The Most Boring Town In Britain' in a national poll. This was partially a backlash to Thatcherism although some locals took a perverse pride in the award and it proved to be a spur for development in the town (for instance a cinema opened soon after). The food processing industry now employs the largest contingent of Grantham's citizens, including Fenland Foods (part of Northern Foods) on the Earlesfield Industrial Estate, GW Padley, and a large frozen vegetable factory (PAS) near Easton. Nearby towns to Grantham include Nottingham, Newark, Melton Mowbray, Lincoln and Sleaford
