SALTFLEET-HAVEN, a hamlet (formerly a market
town) in the parish of SKIDBROOK, Marsh division of
the hundred of LOUTH-ESKE, parts of LINDSEY, county
of LINCOLN, 38 miles (N. E. by B.) from Lincoln. The
population is returned with the parish. This was a
town of some importance about half a century ago, but
it is now decayed: the old town is said to have been
destroyed by an inundation of the sea. There is a place
of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. A fair is held on
October 3rd, and is celebrated for the show of good
foals. Here is a very fine bed of oysters.
