A landmark on the southern side of Wainfleet is the disused windmill which now forms part of George Bateman and Son’s Brewery at Salem Bridge. Over a century ago, George Bateman gave up farming and tried his hand at brewing. It has become a very successful business and supplies a range of beer to pubs all over the county and further afield.There is a visitor centre attached to the premises so people can look at the whole process of making beer and taste some of the products. Many of the pubs in the town also supply a range of Bateman’s ales.
