The Craft Union Pub Company Inn has a datestone for 1885. In the 19th century, the area was listed under Bracebridge 'a small scattered village' not as part of Lincoln. White's 1872 directory lists in Bracebridge 'Speed Thomas, victualler, Gate'. As you will see, Mrs Speed, presumably his wife, is in the Gatehouse in 1885. The conclusion is that this building replaced an earlier pub. I can't find it in directories that I have before 1872. (Late 19th & early 20th century there is another Gatehouse Hotel listed in Canwick Road). In June 2022 Stonegate Group reported on their website that the Inn was open again after a £200,000 makeover. A search of my directories found the following landlords; 1885 Mrs Catherine Speed, listed as Gate House P.H.; 1889 Robert Hoe, listed as Gate House P.H.; 1894-1926 Thomas Brown; 1930 Mrs Mary A Brown; 1946 Frederick G Brown; 1965 just listed as Gatehouse Hotel.
