Lincolnshire memories
I was born in Branston in 1948. I grew up there until I was 16 when we moved to Lincoln. There was a waterwheel down one of the country lanes which was very unusual, in as much as that it was horizontal rather than vertical. I believe it is still there today.

My family used to visit Metheringham regularly to vist my mother's aunt. Her name was Nellie Garrick and she lived in Lime Tree Avenue (I think that is the right name). She was married to Jack Garrick. We used to go on a Friday night. Dad would go to the pub and we would stay at Great Aunty Nellie's house. We... [more]

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]

Boston - A History & Celebration
The direct involvement of the civilian population in the horrors of war might be one of the factors contributing to the decline of religious belief and worship during the 20th century. When the Centenary Methodist Chapel was destroyed by fire on 24 June 1909, the congregation responded magnificently and the new chapel on the site was re-opened in 1911, and is still in use. However since then many churches and chapels... [more]
