Dist:0.2km<br/>The River Glen, approaching Surfleet. The gardens of many houses run down to the river, with small boats moored at the bottoms of gardens. A footpath threads its way along the south bank, with arable farmland encroaching.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The farmer has not left much room for the legitimate footpath on the south side of the River Glen, approaching Surfleet.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Four of the features of the village of Surfleet. The Mermaid Inn, St. Laurence's Church (leaning at an alarming angle), the iron girder bridge and the River Glen around which Surfleet was built.

Dist:0.5km<br/>On the left the Mermaid Inn. To the rear, the leaning tower of the Church of St Lawrence. The tower is 6 feet out of perpendicular. The road, from Spalding, links up with the A152 on its way northwards to the A52.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The top of the tower is 6 feet off perpendicular; a result of subsidence common on the soft ground of the Fenlands.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Mermaids must be hard to come by in Surfleet as the sea is about 10 miles away, so I really don't know how this pub got its name. The River Glen is only a few yards from the pub.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This bridge looks as though it might have been a swing bridge, but on closer inspection no evidence could be found. Beyond is the Mermaid Inn.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking northwards. The road is the B1356 out of Spalding.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking south. The bridge carries the B1356 Spalding road.
