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.

Extracts From Lincoln & Lincolnshire books
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 on the left are the sole survivors.

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.

This marvellously atmospheric view along the High Street looks across towards Lincoln’s great medieval minster church which dominates the city and the countryside for miles around – the beautiful central tower is the tallest of the Middle Ages in England after the Boston Stump. The cathedral retains some Norman work, but most of it dates from the 13th century, with additions of the 14th century.

This splendidly atmospheric view along the High Street looks across towards the great medieval minster church which dominates the city and the countryside for miles around. The bridge crosses the canalised Witham, and in the distance is Stone Bow arch. The obelisk on the bridge and most of the buildings have since been replaced. The church tower belongs to the church of St Peter At Arches, demolished in 1933.
