St. Catherines, LINCOLN, LN5 8LY

The old trackbed is now thick with woodlands

The tree in the centre stands near the point where Lincoln's Eleanor cross once stood on Swine Green, at the junction of Cross-o-Cliff Hill and Newark Road. Following the death of Queen Eleanor in Harby, Notts. on 28th November 1290, King Edward I erected an 'Eleanor Cross' at each of the places her funeral cortege stayed overnight on the way to Westminster. Records show that it was repaired by the City authorities in 1624, though it was destroyed during The Civil War about 20 years later. A fragment of a statue of Eleanor was rescued from its use as a footbridge in the 19th century and can now be seen in Lincoln Castle grounds.

Pair of semi detached houses built by M Hampshire to planning approved March 1885. 49 has the nameplate 'Cliffside'. No.49 is listed as a 5 bedroom semi-detached house. Sold in the February, the 2,120 sq ft 4 bedroom no.51 had planning approved for a single storey rear extension with balcony in July 2021.

Not the best picture but it is difficult to photograph. House built for Alderman Thomas Wallis, architect W Mortimer and Son to planning approved in July 1896. Wallis made additions in 1907 and a dispensing room by builder W Challands in 1911. Presumably from about 1911, the house is occupied by Major Osmand Harry Chapman MD RAMC surgeon until at least 1919. In 1913 Ruddock's directory calls it Fernville. Planning was granted in October 2015 for 54m of 1.95m high wrought iron railings and gate to front elevation.
