The Lexden Earthworks are supposed to be a triple dam, possibly shortly before the Roman invasion, to secure the water supply. Even with the drone one hardly sees anything. 

The two Mistley Towers are the remains of a 1735 church that was dismantled around 1870.

Lindsey St. James Chapel had a roof damage so it was closed. It was built in the 13th century for nearby Lindsey Castle.

Chappel Viaduct is one of the biggest brick buildings in England. More than 6 million bricks were used from 1847 to 1849 to erect the rail viaduct measuring 320 m in length and 22,5 m in height with 32 arches of 9 meters each.
