Next to it would be a greenhouse complex, using waste heat from the cooling of the data centre buildings to grow agricultural economic report for the greenhouse predicts it could grow 4,728 tonnes of tomatoes a year supporting an estimated 64 jobs on and off would also be a creche, café, gym and small shop which would be available to workers at the existing industrial year, North Lincolnshire Council approved plans for a £2.2bn data centre by the A180 near South Killingholme, which it said would create almost 400 application for the Elsham Wolds development is open for residents' comments until 26 to highlights from Lincolnshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

Second data centre could bring jobs, council told
A data centre that could create up to 1,000 jobs has been put forward as a potential plan for North Lincolnshire. A pre-application document has been filed with North Lincolnshire Council for the possible development on land south and east of Elsham Wolds Industrial Estate. The documents suggest the buildings would be on a site covering about 180 hectares. It comes after councillors approved plans for a £2.2bn data centre last year by the A180 near South Killingholme, which will create almost 400 jobs. That data centre, Humber Tech Park, would make "the area a leader in artificial intelligence", the council previously said. The pre-application for the possible Elsham Wolds centre precedes any request for outline planning permission, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. "It is anticipated if the construction process runs as a continual process for all items within the proposed development, it will take up to 10 years to complete construction," the document said.

Commemorative George Stubbs horse sculptures to be auctioned
Eight horse sculptures, created for George Stubbs' 300th birthday celebrations last year, are set to be auctioned this week. The sculptures, half of which are life-size, were part of a Stubbs Trail around North Lincolnshire - the area where Stubbs conducted his anatomical studies, which, according to a spokesperson, "would revolutionise the way the horse was depicted in art - some of the most gruesome work ever undertaken by an English artist." Stubbs, an 18th-century equestrian artist, began to acquire his dissecting skills in Liverpool while working with his father, who was a currier (a specialist leather-worker). He further developed these skills at the County Hospital in York, where he studied anatomy, dissecting and drawing human cadavers. In 1756, Stubbs moved to a farmhouse near Horkstow, where he spent 18 months dissecting horse bodies, drawing and recording his findings. This gruesome work led to a new understanding of horse anatomy, resulting in some of the most accurate horse pictures ever painted. His knowledge was shared in his book, The Anatomy of the Horse, which was published in 1766. As part of the Stubbs tercentenary celebrations, North Lincolnshire Council commissioned 20 horse sculptures - ten life-size and ten smaller versions - to create a Stubbs Trail around sites connected to the artist. Each sculpture is unique, created by a contemporary artist in collaboration with a local school or community group. The groups were given the choice of keeping their horse or having it sold for charity when the Stubbs celebration ended. The four life-size horses going under the hammer include Skyscraper, the first sculpture on the Stubbs Trail, which was sited at Baysgarth Park in Barton on Humber. Standing 15 hands high, Skyscraper was the work of Hull artist Caitlin Smith, assisted by local primary schoolchildren. The auction also includes Spirit, the work of the Sussex-based equestrian artist Jane Johansson and the Scunthorpe Museum Society Art Group. The largest of the sculptures to be auctioned is George - the work of Gillian Higgins, an expert in equine anatomy. George stands 83 inches tall. Auctioneer Paul Potter said: "The horses are jaw-droppingly impressive sculptures that have fascinated thousands of people who enjoyed the Stubbs Trail during the 300th anniversary celebrations, and they're still impressing here at the saleroom in Messingham. "The looks on the faces of visitors when they find themselves meeting a life-size horse in reception or around the corner amid the china cabinets have been absolutely priceless." The sale catalogue is available to view at The viewing session is at The Old School Saleroom in Messingham on Wednesday, April 23, from 10am to 4pm. The auction gets underway at 10.30am on Thursday, April 24.
