Artist's impression of a corn dryer - (St Giles' Avenue, Sleaford)
Substantial stone foundations of the corn dryer on which this illustration is based, were uncovered during the 1960-63 excavations at Old Sleaford, prior to the construction of St Giles' Avenue, Sleaford.
Due to the relatively elaborate nature of this design, it has also been proposed that it is quite possibly a malt kiln, used for drying barley used in the beer making process.

This illustration depicts how the roman villa discovered within the grounds of Sleaford Police Station on Boston Road may have looked when Mareham Lane (in the foreground) was a thriving Romano-British thoroughfare.
