Sleeping inside Lincoln Castle
My Grandfather, Harry Westwood, was custodian at the Castle for many years, retiring in 1966. He passed the position to his son Tom Westwood, my uncle. Tom retired in 1986. As a child I would sleep inside the castle gatehouse at weekends, but since Tom Westwood retired in 1986, I believe that the castle is now managed by Lincolnshire County Council... [more]

My family were quite... [more]

At first we lived in a semi detatched house at the top of the lane leading down to the Farm. Neighbours were Mr and Mrs Button with daughters Glenys and Susan and Mr and Mrs... [more]

My father was employed as the farm foreman at Park Farm, Kettlethorpe for several years up until his death in 1960. We lived in the farmhouse down a lane about half a mile from the A57 main road.

The village school then was in Church Lane next to the church and the teachers were Miss True, Mr Wright, Miss... [more]

Lincoln, the county town of Lincolnshire, is situated where the limestone ridge is cut through by the River Witham. Brayford Pool, a busy inland port that connected Lincoln both to the River Trent via the Roman Foss Dyke and to the sea via the Witham, is much changed now; its warehouses are mostly replaced by offices and flats, although the three...

This view of the south side of the cathedral is taken from within the Vicars Court, where the vicars lived. Their function was to stand in for the normally absentee cathedral dignitaries and Prebendaries. The west range here, although mostly medieval, was much changed in 1875. Beyond is the Preceptory, with its dark-painted Georgian sash windows inserted into medieval stonework.
