The Land on the Edge project forms a companion piece to the Lincolnshire County Council/Historic England Inns on the Edge project.
The latter is concerned with the current and lost inns and public houses of the Lincolnshire coastline from Boston through to Grimsby, an often understudied but locally vital element within the historic landscape.
The project aims to establish for the first time a catalogue of the present and lost inns along the Lincolnshire coast, recording their stories, current usage and condition, as well as analysing them as a group.
The Land on the Edge project is designed to complement and extend this, allowing these buildings to be situated within their wider landscape context.
By doing this, it is possible to show that the inns and public houses along the Lincolnshire coastal zone not only reflect the past landscapes and histories of this region, but also played a key role in creating the current version of the coastal zone, thus underlining their value as a heritage asset with the wider historic environment.
