IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Eastgate, LOUTH, LN11 8DE

This site consisted of Winch's brewery, which dated from the middle of the 19th century, and the former Allinsons Print Works and shop. These were part of a historic row of buildings, including the brewer's house and the spring-fed swimming pool. See: Image and Image Lest we should forget what has been destroyed, effectively taking out the end of the row, see Image and Image Originally William East's brewery (he lived up the road, see TF3387 : William East's house in Church Street), it was taken over in the 1880's by T.M.Winch and Co.(as seen here). Then it continued as Soulby Sons and Winch until 1910. The water for the beer came from Aswell Spring, which flowed through the Gatherums from Aswell Street, also supplying the open air swimming pool next door. The applicant said the property had been on the market for nearly 7 years, and not sold and that the condition was "worsening". The Victorian Society objected strongly to the plans. Nevertheless, though the first application was not successful, East Lindsey District Council allowed the second, thus sanctioning the destruction of this historic buildings. Housing is to be built on the site. A similar fate befell the chimney in Cinder Lane, which after being abandoned for 7 years was declared to be unsafe, so that the Council felt it had no option but to allow it to be demolished.
