Pub on Lincoln High Street

Historic hostelry on Lincoln High Street

The most prominent feature is the west tower to High Street by Henry Grix in 1721, nave and north aisle by Henry Goddard in 1861. The chancel was rebuilt in 1878 and the south aisle and south chapel were added by William Watkins in 1884.

466-468, shops with living accommodation built by John Fullalove for John Sheppard some time in or before 1877. Whites 1872 directory has a No.423 next to St Botolph’s Church with Mrs Rebecca Thorpe, shopkeeper also appearing at 423 in 1868. Prior to this in 1856 William Thorpe is listed at 423. Certainly by 1894 it was numbered 466. The advertising sign (Warwicks & Richardsons Ltd, Northgate, Newark on Trent) painted on the front wall of 466 suggests it may have been a public house but a list of Warwicks’ pubs has no entry for here. In Northgate Brewery from 1871 Warwicks were acquired by John Smith's Tadcaster Brewery Co. Ltd, in 1962. No.466 was possibly an off licence, numbered 423 with William or Rebecca Thorpe then? Occupants of 466 include; 1894-1905 William Atkinson, pork butchers; 1909 George Codd, pork butcher; 1913 Thomas Pearson, cycle dealer; 1919 John T Pearson, greengrocer; 1965 Empty. Tony Edens was established in 1977 but I don’t know how long they have been here; the limited company was only established in 2005.

14-16 High street was the Co-operative Branch 22 known to them as being Tealby Street. It was built by the in house building department supervised by Mr G Rutherford, Department Manager during 1912 and opened on 13th December that year. It is reported a large crowd assembled for the opening ceremony and at the close each person was presented with a sample jar of C.W.S. jam or marmalade. The first quarter turnover was £2,204 and they expected this to double within a reasonable time.
