Happy Lincolnshire Day!

                   That's enough of the baking thingy 

          Where can I find out about water pipes first being laid in Lincoln, for household use .

 and does anyone know where the drinking water came from before that 

  I have a feeling,   there maybe more questions 

  Eilleen.

I think you may be joining the RootsChat Aristocracy soon Eilleen.

This is the Happy Lincolnshire Day thread.  I suggest you take problems with your water elsewhere 

You will find an answer here (20th century) http://www.localhistories.org/lincoln

And there was me thinking that everyone at the top end of the city got their water from the Westgate water tower and everyone at the bottom end from Brayford Pool

My great grandad was one of those who died in the 1905 typhoid outbreak http://www.blowbyblow.co.uk/buy-dvds/bygone-lincoln-dvd-2/

My mother was born in Brummitts Close in 1905 she was the first child of Herbert & Maud Hicks. he was a Fitter at Rustons. The epidemic in the city prompted them to up sticks and move to the safe haven of Stamford where they had another 10 kids and he worked for Blackstones for over 30 years.

Think I might well invest in that DVD might find a few rellies on it
