My Grandfather
I was told by my mother that my grandparents moved to Tattershall in 1912 from Buckinghamshire so my grandfather could find work helping to restore the castle he was a carpenter. His name was William Bywater, known as Roger, they lived in the village for many years.

Ancestors from Coningsby
I've been researching my family history and have found that an ancestor of mine known as James Faunt used to live at a place called Packet Beerhouse, in fact he is in the 1891 census as being the "beerhouse keeper". He lived there with his wife Sarah. Is the building still in existence today? Are there any Faunts still living in the Coningsby area? I've been trying to find out more, but so far no success. I am a regular visitor to Grimsby so may nip over to Coningsby and try at the roots...so to speak.

Langrick
I was born at Church Corner, Langrick, in one of a pair of tied cottages. My godparents lived next door. My mother was Joyce May Cargill, and she was living with her parents, Eva Kate and George Herbert White at the time of my birth. my father was Joseph William Cargill. He was in the Army, fighting in the second World War.
My paternal grandparents were Mary and John Perry Cargll. They lived a short distance away, along Armtree Road. There is not a trace of the little cottae where they brought up their large family.
The house where I was born on March 21st 1943 has now been converted into single dwelling. the old apple tree ...read more here

Extracts From Tattershall & Lincolnshire books
The Crazy Golf Course is still there; so are the hotels and flats fronting South Parade, including the Lakeside Hotel on the extreme right.
An extract from from"Skegness Town and City Memories".
There is still a putting green near the Clock Tower, but it is in an adventure form, and is perhaps not so attractive as the simplified version was. The flagstaff belonged to the lifeboat station, which at that time was sited off the picture to the right, and a flag was flown when the lifeboat was at sea.

In the early 1950s, the street lamps were being converted from gas to electricity; these in Lumley Road are the last gas lamps in use just before the changeover. The ‘No Waiting’ road sign (left) was used during the ‘unilateral waiting’ period, when vehicles could wait on one side on odd days of the month and on the opposite side on even days. The signs were hinged in half moons so that they could be tipped over to show which side of the road was available for parking.

The recently-demolished underground lavatories are on the right. To the left of centre are Blackbourn’s shoe shop and the Nat West Bank, partly hidden by trees.

North Shore, or more correctly Sea View, is hardly recognisable in this photograph. The Derbyshire Miners’ Convalescent Home can still just be seen in the far distance. The North Shore Café has long been closed, and the helter skelter is long gone. Prince Edward Walk now fronts this part of the seashore.
