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. 

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 *
