History

In 1922, the A1031 followed the coast, going from Grimsby to Cleethorpes, and ended on the A1030 (now A46). It was later expanded south, along the B1198 up to the A1098. It was then extended all the way to Mablethorpe during the 1950s. After the construction of the A180 in 1983, the northern section of the A1031 was reclassified, but it was not upgraded, making it the only unimproved section of A180.[1]

Tetney

The road goes through the countryside for approximately 1 mile until it gets to Tetney. Through Tetney it bends three times.

North Cotes to Marshchapel

The road goes through the very small village of North Cotes, bending once, then out of the village, and then travels to the larger village of Marshchapel.

Grainthorpe to North Sommercotes

The road passes through Grainthorpe then on the edge of the village. It passes through the villages of Ludney and Conisholme, where it sharply bends. Following this the road goes on towards North Somercotes where it includes a junction with the road to Donna Nook to the north.
