Hemswell Cliff

Hemswell Cliff

Hemswell Cliff is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 683. It is on the A631 between Caenby Corner and Gainsborough and on the escarpment of Lincoln Cliff.

RAF Hemswell was located on the site from 1937 until it closed in 1967. The airfield site was subsequently redeveloped into a private trading estate and the RAF married quarters into a Residential area which became a newly created civil parish of Hemswell Cliff. The old village of Hemswell remains as a separate parish.

By mid 2008 there was no longer any RAF presence on the site and it is now all civilian. The RAF still own the community centre and have spent considerable money refurbishing it.

The old H Block buildings on the site have now become home to one of the Europe's largest antique centres and there are also various shops, a garden centre, hairdresser, used book shop and several cafés. On Sundays there is a very large Sunday market and car boot sale.

Hemswell Cliff Primary School is in the village.
