Cripplehall & 8 Row, Boston, Lincs

[smokeyfeline]

Hi Everyone, I am trying to locate the above addresses in the mid 1800's, while I lived in the Lincoln Lane area for the 1st 8 yrs of my life, these had already been demolished I think, any maps or photos would be really helpful as most of the Herriott & Royal branches of my family lived here, many thanks in advance for any info

Lincs Chronicle 21 Aug 1846
"The bridge by which it will cross the Witham will be between the Sluice and the Iron Bridge, from which point it will proceed to West Street, by Cripple Hall and Paddock Grove"

This map shows Paddock Grove.

Have also seen Cripple Hall Lane and Cripple Hall Court as an address in the newspapers.

Thanks Hanes, I'll follow your link, I've looked at some of the OS maps of the period but only show the street names mainly, I lived in Pinfold Lane until it was all demolished for a bus station in the early 60's, my Gparents 1930's and then my Parents 1950's lived the same house until that point. My Nan was a Herriott and they lived in the Lincoln Lane area from before 1841

On the '51 Census Cripple Hall, Eight Row and Nine Row follow Lincoln Lane.
I have checked Historical Directories for Boston 1855 and 1861 - no mention of any of the first three named above.

Attached - Item snipped from the Stamford Mercury, 26 Jan 1855

Ah - status of your post does not allow attachments. The item simply describes Cripple Hall as "8 Brick and Tiled Cottages or tenements, with yards and premises thereto belonging, at the bottom of Lincoln Lane .....". It names the 8 tenants, some of whom I spotted on the '51 Census.

I Have a Barney Royal at Cripple Hall, Rosegarth Street, Boston, Lincolnshire, England 1861 census (Grandfather of the husband of my 2xGrandmother). I should clarify I meant the whole Herriott/Royal families go back to pre 1841 not my Grandmother . I followed your link to the map and it has far more detail than the ones I looked at and better zoom,I am trying to identify the bridge in your first post, I presume the Iron Bridge is the Town Bridge. thank you again for all your help, I found a picture of 9 Row here https://bostonpast.blogspot.com/search?q=lincoln+lane Unfortunately I believe the gentleman has now passed

The Iron Bridge at Boston was constructed in the early 19th cent and replaced by a higher bridge early 20th cent.  Lincs. Archives have some records under ref BB/9/A  (Boston Borough).

Hi Molly, thank you for your info, definitely another link to follow, from your info I am thinking that may be the replacement of what is now known as the Town Bridge as there was only 2 bridges in boston when I was a child, Town Bridge & Sluice Bridge, Haven Bridge came a lot later

That I can't remember. Requires contacting the moderator. Have sent you a PM. In the meantime -

Boston Guardian, 26 Oct 1938
"A LARGE BRICK BUILDING, known as CRIPPLE HALL, says Pishey Thompson in 1856, stood on the south side of the west end of Lincoln Lane at the beginning of the present century."
