The house in the centre was demolished for a road widening scheme which did not take place.

Marshalls Shop on the corner of Sea Dyke Way and Littlefield Lane.
This photograph was obviously taken after 1930, when Mr Henry Marshall bought the premises.

East Lincs Motor Company in Louth, built bodies for small rural Motorbuses in the 1920s.
As shown here for Mr R. Pearce of Marshchapel.

This photograph is of the Red Bus which, together with Applebys (fomerly known as Waumsleys) and the Lincolnshire Roadcar, ran between Marshchapel and Grimsby.
Tommy Hodgkiss was the owner/driver and he lived at North Cotes. The bus was garaged in the shed of the house on the left hand side as you turn into North Cotes from the A1031(an old petrol pump can be seen on the front.
A dog, called Bruce, which lived at the White Horse, used to chase this bus every time he saw it coming past. One day the inevitable happened and the driver couldnt break in time.
Bruce survived this ordeal and even with one leg in plaster still made a game attempt at chasing the bus out of his area.
