Here are two photographs that appeared in the Skegness Standard 10 years ago this week.

One shows Scouts getting their hands dirty at the Skegness Eco Centre, the other of a medieval-themed troupe outside the Hildreds shopping centre.

Members of the 1st Skegness Scouts are pictured helping build a sensory garden at the Skegness Eco Centre 10 years ago. The youngsters had already held a bag-packing fundraiser at B&Q in support of the project, collecting £68. Scout leader Sylvia Myers said: “The scouts have never done something like this before and it’s quite a big challenge, but I am sure lots of people will benefit from using the sensory garden.”
