In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Ferry Corner like this:
LANGRICK-FERRY, a hamlet in Ferry-Corner extra-parochial tract, Lincoln; on the river Witham, at Langrick r. station, 5 miles NW of Boston. It has a Wesleyan chapel.
The location is based approximately on that shown for the parish on the 1888 Sanitary Districts map. This was an extremely small area, identified only on an enlarged inset map covering the area north-west of Boston, but it is clear that both the Bartholomew and Imperial gazetteers are incorrect in describing the area as being south-west of Swineshead, it in fact being some miles to the north-east.
