    We told you earlier about the Sir Joseph Banks Conservatory and how it's being taken down and moved to the Woodside Wildlife Park.

    They want to take everything inside it as well but, as you can see, that may turn out to be quite a task!

  4. Traffic and travel: Slow traffic remains in Benniworth

    BBC Travel

    Back now to the story that has captivated the county, the revelation that prog rocker Rick Wakeman apparently ships most of his merchandise out of Coningsby Post Office.

    He turned up in person yesterday much to the staff's surprise. Nicola Gilroy has been speaking to postmistress Sharon Beamish. Take a listen:

    BBC Radio Humberside

    Two Police Constables have been dismissed without notice from Humberside Police, which is responsible for areas in North Lincolnshire, following a misconduct hearing.

    The first officer punched a man while detained which was deemed to be gross misconduct. The officer also lied about the location of an arrest and didn't tell supervisors when he was going home.

    The second officer was present and didn't report the incident when a detainee was punched and also fell asleep whilst carrying out cell watch on a vulnerable detainee.

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    Teenagers have been spotted climbing on the roof of the Old Court House in Boston's town centre prompting authorities to warn of safety fears.

    This is what Network Rail were faced with when they were called about the Leicestershire bridge last night.

    And this rather unnerving photo was taken from the bridge itself after the sun came up.

    BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    Lincoln's Sir Joseph Banks conservatory, which was earmarked for demolition, has been saved but not in the way you'd expect.

    The plan is for it to be taken down and moved piece by piece to Woodside Wildlife Park along with the fish and plants that are currently inside it.

    Work is going to start today.

    Work has started to improve the visibility into the Roman well in the churchyard at St Paul in the Bail in Lincoln.

    The see-through cover has been looking a bit grubby as of late so this will hopefully allow tourists and locals to look into it unobstructed once again.
