Is there anybody who knows of a clinic / hospital / house that used to be on the corner of Lindum Terrace ( where it meets Sewell Road ). It was for either sexual health or terminations in the 1960's . My mum is sure it was called Lindum house . I used google maps and typed in 103 Sewell Road and it came up with a car park . I can find no records of what the building was for . Thank you in advance :)

Welcome to RootsChat :)
Hiya, what town is that in?
Trystan

A quick Google search finds a Sewell Road, and a Lindum Terrace in Lincoln!
LN2 5RY is a postcode on that road.
Lindum House is now Siemens?!
But I think you may want Lindum Park House?

Or this?

Hi you could also look at this, http://www.rootschat.com/links/0z5n, Dave.
Lindum House is at No11 Sewell Road
-
Thank you for your replies and I apologise for not saying it is in Lincoln :) The building I am looking for is no longer standing so it isn't the Quarry or the Siemens building . When I searched google street view the exact place it was is now a car park with what looks like a newish small block of flats next to it and the address came up as 103 Sewell Road .
-
Thanks Dave , I've just looked at the For sale link and found on the top picture of the map page that the building was where Sewell Court now is . I am just so frustrated that I can't find any information on what was there before the flats . Leanne .

Hi Leanne
It might be worth contacting Lincoln Archives to see if there is anything at all about 103 in the records.
Here's the link again:

An old OS 6 ins to mile map (1950) on this site has the building on the site you mention as Lindum Lodge:

Zoom in to max and you'll see it

Lindum Lodge (Lindum Cottage in 1957 directory) was actually 33 Sewell Rd, the residents being given as Miss D WEST and Thos H TIMMS. (no other description)
Cold Bath House (opposite) was bombed during WW2 and ceased to exist.
-
That's the same map as my link, Geoff - 1948/1950 6 ins. So where on earth was 103 - all the maps point to that site ::)

My map was actually 25 inch and prewar. ;)
Pic is from 1957 directory. The only other thing on that side of the road was County Hospital (from which I was discharged fifty years ago yesterday).
The "names" part of the directory has the man has Thomas Harry TIMMS. Perhaps he was 1896-1993 of which Ancestry (to which I don't have access) has photos and several mentions. Does Ancestry have any mention of his profession? Perhaps he was just a man in lodgings. :-\

Goodness - I was just about to get ready for university then ;D
So, 103 doesn't appear in any directories either - very odd*. What number would Coldbath House be?
Was there a renumbering - 103 = 33 :-\
PS - are you sure it's 25 ins to the mile - my link, when enlarged, has more detail. I'm not doing a clip because of Copyright.
PPS - Royal Mail only list 1-90 Sewell Road in Post Code Finder

Goodness - I was just about to get ready for university then ;D I had A-levels imminent, so the fact that I was being treated for concussion had my parents worried.

Was there a renumbering - 103 = 33 :-\ With so few houses, hardly worth the bother.
PS - are you sure it's 25 ins to the mile - my link, when enlarged, has more detail. I'm not doing a clip because of Copyright. Quite sure, note that St Annes Bedehouses are shown with dividing lines. Wiki tells me

got to go off now, but could you possibly find who lived in the higher 'odd numbers' . I'm wondering if there's a bit of an error in damson's info about 103.
Where did the 103 come from, damson?

will check Timms' occ when I get back, if no one else has.

The tree that has the photos doesn't mention Lincoln, never mind a profession! ???

OK KG :-\
I think he was born in the midlands and died in Dorset.
-
Born in Aston, 1896.
Died in Poole, Dorset 1993.
Married 1924 in Kings Norton to Lily Rew. Can't see any offspring?
Thought any births would give a clue as to when he was in Lincoln?! :-\

Thank you so so so much everyone for your help and information . I have found out that Lindum Lodge was bought by the Church of England Temperance Society in 1925 and converted for use as a Remand Home for " friendless and homeless boys " and also was used as a base for the Police Court Mission .
In 1955 the threat of compulsory purchase of the Home's playing field by Lincoln County Hospital led to the purchase of "Craiglands" on Newark Road as a replacement Boy's Home .
Lindum Lodge and the playing field were sold in 1956 but to whom I don't know .
-
Just a thought , could it have been a Drs house ? Many had houses next to the hospital then. Plus lots of places named Lindum to add to the confusion. I 'm not far from there if there is something you need. Happy anniversary Geoff !

This is the first time I've researched so thank you Geoff :) I am still no nearer to finding out whether it was anything other than a house after 1956 though * frustrated face *
