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 *

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 :)

Is there any chance somebody knows if the maternity home also carried out terminations ? My mum can only remember vaguely that she was taken to a clinic of some sort on Sewell Road when she was about 12 or 13 . I've searched and cannot find any type of clinic there . Thank you :)
