Atterby is a hamlet in Lindsey, the northern part of Lincolnshire.[1] It is to be found a mile north of Bishop Norton.[2]
Atterby is now little more than a cluster of buildings at a crossroads; in the 19th century it was larger with 134 inhabitants, a butcher, shop and a carrier.[3]
By the early 20th century the Everett family had established a bus service, initially with a horse drawn omnibus and later as pioneers in the use of motorised buses. One of their early vehicles was the "Silver Queen".[4] Everett's buses operated in the local area for many years until quite recently. In 2006 JD Everett is still in the village but as a haulage company.
About the village
Atterby Mill, a watermill, is a Grade II listed building.[5] It stands towards the A15 along a private road. It was powered by water from Atterby Beck (which separates the hamlet from Bishop Norton) supplemented by a steam engine. It produced animal feed ground from grain. It was built on the site of a mediæval mill.[6] Nearby was the site of an old post windmill, long abandoned.[7][8]
