Bourne
Bourne is a market town and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. Bourne sits on the eastern slopes of the Kesteven Uplands and the western edge of the Lincolnshire Fens. The town is on a Roman road now known as King Street and was built around the natural springs, hence the name 'Bourne', which comes from Anglo-Saxon meaning 'water' or 'stream'. It is located on the intersection of the A15 and the A151 roads. The civil parish contains the primary township and the hamlets of Cawthorpe, Dyke and Twenty. In the past, Austerby was seen as a separate village with its own shops and streets, but is now an area of Bourne called The Austerby. The town's economy was driven by rural industries until the opening of the railway produced a market for bottled mineral water. While it is nevertheless focused on agriculture and food preparation for supermarkets you'll also find critical light engineering and tourism activities. The district has a fast-growing housing market with significant new building being undertaken in Bourne in the 2000s. The population taken in the 2001 census was about 13,961, rising to 14,500 people at the 2011 census. Bourne Town Football Club plays football in the United Counties Football League and the junior club runs teams for young people at all ages in local league competitions. Bourne Cricket Club is one of the most successful in the Lincolnshire ECB Premier League, having won the competition three times since it was established in 2000. The club normally offers players for the Lincolnshire Minor Counties team. These teams play home games at the Abbey Lawn, a recreation ground privately owned by the Bourne United Charities.
