Toilets, tea room, shop, horse buildings, workshop and much more. Footpaths for visitors,
car parking, loading dock for taking wagon ride passengers, a ride dray, harness storage.
The list seemed endless, but we eventually did it.
Picture of tea room to be, before work started!

Early in 1989, the previous District Commissioner for the British Driving Society, Paul
Tointon approached us with a request. He had been living at a large country house just
outside Louth and it had now been sold. Paul had bought an area of private woodland
outside Spilsby but had little room to store his extensive collection of horse drawn vehicles.

We agreed to house the vehicles for Paul and create a Carriage Museum, an extra
attraction for our prospective visitors. All Paul's vehicles were old carriages of one sort or
another and valuable. They were also historically important and I was able to create
interesting notes to place around the museum.
