The Green Dragon Inn
Memories of my husband and I as managers of The Dragon in the early70s, our staff were Mary Lambert, Val Lovely (I think she has changed her name)and Pam Verges, and the lovely football players from Lincoln City, especially the Percy Freeman one, if you're all still out there I would love to hear from any old customers and friends.

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 without having a resident custodian living on ther premises.

Monks abbey
I used to play in the abbey in the war time as then it had an air bomb shelter, we used to think that there was a tunnel under the abbey to the cathedral.

Middle Rasen farmer sires two Mayors for Grimsby
My 2nd G/Grandfather, Robert Milner (1794-1870), married Mary Ann Norton on 25th April 1821 in St. Peters Church, Middle Rasen, winessed by Thomas Miller, Nicholas Danby and Frances Popple. They had ten children, all born in Middle Rasen, and the family remained there until my grandfather Christopher Miller (1865-1937), grandson of Robert Milner, moved to Grimsby and later became Mayor of that town in the year 1912/13. Walter Banyard Smith (1913-1993), a 2nd G/Grandson of Robert Miller, was also Mayor of Grimsby in the year 1980/81.

Extracts From Ingham & Lincolnshire books
The village lost its medieval church to bombs in World War II and has
expanded much since the War, partly due to Lincoln’s proximity and partly
to the RAF. In this view we look past the Horse and Jockey pub towards the
south of the village; the church is beyond the high tree on the left.

Waddington is now noted more for its large Royal Air Force station to
the east of the village, but it grew up on a diversion of Ermine Street
to the western scarp of the limestone ridge. Consequently much of the
village is built of the local oolitic limestone, which gives it a coherent
character. This view looks north along the High Street.

Doddington receives many visitors, for Doddington Hall, although privately
owned, is often open to the public. Immediately north-east of the Hall is St
Peter’s Church, almost entirely rebuilt in the 1770s by Thomas Lumby in
partly scholarly Gothic, although a cheery Strawberry Hill Gothick breaks out
here and there, particularly in the west tower.

Further south is the Foss Dyke. In the middle distance is the site of the
old swing bridge, now replaced by the present 1937 bridge on the A57
bypass upon which the photographer is standing. The arch is that to the
1911 pipe bridge that carries Lincoln’s water from Nottinghamshire. The
present footbridge is a Victorian one placed here in 1987.
