Modern Bracebridge Heath
Bracebridge Heath has changed considerably since White's description of 1876. The village boundary is now much extended northwards in the direction of Lincoln and south towards the nearby village of Waddington.
One local landmark is the water pumping station (known locally as 'The Water Tower') and reservoir located on Grantham Road; the water reservoir itself was extended in the early 1970s.
