Grandfather
I remember going to Hogsthorpe to see some family member. They had the butchers shop. My grandad was Euclid Stephenson. Born1875. Lived on the High Street, he worked as a postman,and was a member of the post office choir, who went to "the Holyland" singing.There is a carving on a house with the Stephenson name on it. Euclid married Lucy Cutts. They moved to Nottingham but returned in 1934. I would love to know if anyone knows of them. Ann Stephenson

My childhood in Hogsthorpe
I was born in 1951 and in April 1953 our family moved to Hogsthorpe. My parents were worried as that was the year of the floods and they had put furniture in our new home. Although the police would not let them through to check on things, fortunately, Hogsthorpe was not flooded. So we moved in and in September of 1956 I started at the primary school. This building, however, was destroyed by fire. It was then a very small village-everyone knew everyone and the school had 60 pupils(it could have been less) in it.
My address then was Ashleigh, West End and my late father ran a poultry farm. I did notice Betty ...read more here

Extracts From Hogsthorpe & Lincolnshire books
The Midland Bank is no more, but the flat-roofed building that sticks out like a sore thumb is still there. It now serves as a garage for an ice cream van, and it still has the iron bars over the windows. The first house on the left is named The Old Post Office, and the Old Cobblers Shop is further up the street. The little building squeezed between the two houses (left) is the shop/store of an electrical contractor. The road is the A52.

The Crazy Golf Course is still there; so are the hotels and flats fronting South Parade, including the Lakeside Hotel on the extreme right.

There is still a putting green near the Clock Tower, but it is in an adventure form, and is perhaps not so attractive as the simplified version was. The flagstaff belonged to the lifeboat station, which at that time was sited off the picture to the right, and a flag was flown when the lifeboat was at sea.

In the early 1950s, the street lamps were being converted from gas to electricity; these in Lumley Road are the last gas lamps in use just before the changeover. The ‘No Waiting’ road sign (left) was used during the ‘unilateral waiting’ period, when vehicles could wait on one side on odd days of the month and on the opposite side on even days. The signs were hinged in half moons so that they could be tipped over to show which side of the road was available for parking.
