End of an era for Monks Dyke Tennyson College site in Mablethorpe
The school which originally started off its time as Tennyson Secondary School before it merged with the Louth site of Monks Dyke Technology College marked its 50th anniversary just last year.
It was officially opened on November 18, 1965 and named after famous Lincolnshire poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson.

But the hopes of future secondary education at the site is not lost, as the provisions to bring forward a new Coastal Free School is well underway.
Lincolnshire County Council made the difficult decision to close down the site earlier this year due to falling pupil numbers and the unsustainable financial future of the site.
Children will now have to attend secondary schools in Alford, North Somercotes and Louth
