__NOTOC__ Keadby is a small village in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated just off the A18, west of Scunthorpe, and on the West bank of the River Trent. Keadby is in the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire. ==Community== Keadby is pronounced "Kidby". Keadby's three public houses are now closed: The Barge (previously The Friendly Fox, earlier The Friendship); The Auld South Yorkshire, fire-damaged in 2011 although there are plans to rebuild; and The Mariners Arms, closed in 1991 and subsequently used as a private school. Village amenities are a fish and chip shop, a working men's club, a small post office, and a local shop. Keadby's economic significance lies in that it was chosen as the destination for the Stainforth and Keadby Canal, opened in 1802. The canal is now mostly a leisure waterway for pleasure boaters, with Keadby being at the "end of the line". There is a lock between the canal and the tidal River Trent. At Keadby is Keadby Power Station, and 'Port Services', a small port for inward-bound timber and scrap metal. On occasion the village is prone to flooding. In May 2006, due to heavy rainfall, ground floors of several houses were flooded in the Queens Crescent and Day Close areas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keadby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
