The route, which starts at Horseshoe Point then passes Tetney,
Waltham and Laceby has 39 km of cable installed, which will transport clean
electricity from Ørsted’s Hornsea Two offshore wind farm to the national grid
substation at North Killingholme.
Renewable energy providers Ørsted and excavators Network
Archaeology are inviting members of the public to attend an event which will
showcase interesting items that have been dug up, before the items are sent to
North Lincolnshire Museum in Scunthorpe for safekeeping.
Mike Wood from Network Archaeology said: “This is a great chance
for us to share what we have found on the project with the communities who live
nearby. We’re also able to share stories about the people who used to live
here.”
The event is due to take place on 21st September at
Healing Manor between 12:00 – 20:00 and everyone is encouraged to come along.
Imran Nawaz, Stakeholder Advisor and Community Benefit Fund
Manager for Ørsted said: “We welcome members of our local community to attend a
fantastic opportunity for people to see first-hand some of the fascinating
archaeological finds from along our cable route and to speak to the experts who
will be able to share knowledge on the history of the local area.”
Ørsted’s Hornsea Two site is located 89 km off the coast of
Yorkshire and when complete, will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm
with a capacity of 1.4GW, sufficient to provide clean, sustainable energy to
well over 1.3 million homes.
The event will showcase items which
have been located along the southern section of the cable route which runs from
Horseshoe Point, up to the A46. An additional event will be held for northern section
items in the near future.
