    Description

    Situation

    The former Navigation Channel & Public Art extends to approximately 513sqr metres and forms part of a former navigation channel. It retains direct access to the River Slea and lies within Sleaford’s Conservation area.

    Description

    The river remains navigable from the town centre to Cogglesford Mill for small boats and canoes.

    The main feature of the Former Navigation Channel is The Sail, a steel sculpture at the eastern end of the site. The sale of the freehold includes the sale of the Sculpture. The Sail by William Lasdun was commissioned by the Civic Trust in 1999 and installed in 2003 to celebrate the Millennium. The design reflects the style of rigging that was used on barges transporting produce and other goods down the Slea to Boston, Lincoln and beyond in the late 18th century.

    Services

    No Services are connected. Purchasers should make their own enquires regarding availability.
