Everything about Manby totally explained
Manby is a
village in the county of
Lincolnshire,
England. Situated approximately five miles east of
Louth, the village had a population of 833 at the
2001 Census.
Between
1938 and
1974, the village was home to a
Royal Air Force base. Many of the houses in the village were built as homes for RAF personnel and the streets where these are situated are named after
aeroplanes (for example
Vampire Road). Since the closure of the base, the houses have been sold to the general public and airbase has been sold for commercial use. The headquarters of
East Lindsey District Council are in one of the buildings on the base, the disused airfield has been used as a showground and is now an
off-road driving centre and one of the hangars is used as a
grain store as part of the
European Union Common Agricultural Policy.
The only amenity of note in the
village is the
post office, however other amenities - including two schools, the Manby Arms
public house and two other village shops - can be found in the adjoining village of
Grimoldby, which is separated from Manby by the
B1200 road.
