Middle Rasen farmer sires two Mayors for Grimsby
My 2nd G/Grandfather, Robert Milner (1794-1870), married Mary Ann Norton on 25th April 1821 in St. Peters Church, Middle Rasen, winessed by Thomas Miller, Nicholas Danby and Frances Popple. They had ten children, all born in Middle Rasen, and the family remained there until my grandfather Christopher Miller (1865-1937), grandson of Robert Milner, moved to Grimsby and later became Mayor of that town in the year 1912/13. Walter Banyard Smith (1913-1993), a 2nd G/Grandson of Robert Miller, was also Mayor of Grimsby in the year 1980/81.

Royal Air Force
Basic training days over, my first posting "Scampton" with 230 OCU. I remember having fire duty sitting beside the control tower as fighter pilots converted to bomber, the exercise being circuits and bumps with the Lincoln bomber, some of the bumps were were heavy, good job the aircraft was well built. I am proud to have served, it was a wonderful experience.

The Green Dragon Inn
Memories of my husband and I as managers of The Dragon in the early70s, our staff were Mary Lambert, Val Lovely (I think she has changed her name)and Pam Verges, and the lovely football players from Lincoln City, especially the Percy Freeman one, if you're all still out there I would love to hear from any old customers and friends.

Sleeping inside Lincoln Castle
My Grandfather, Harry Westwood, was custodian at the Castle for many years, retiring in 1966. He passed the position to his son Tom Westwood, my uncle. Tom retired in 1986. As a child I would sleep inside the castle gatehouse at weekends, but since Tom Westwood retired in 1986, I believe that the castle is now managed by Lincolnshire County Council without having a resident custodian living on ther premises.

Extracts From Glentham & Lincolnshire books
The Crown Inn (right) still looks the same, but the stone wall has been reduced in height. The Hole’s Ales advertising sign on the wall has gone, and the beer being advertised on the hanging sign is now Carling. The main change is that the single petrol pump and brick hut have disappeared, and so has the shop front of what was the general stores. The house is now known as Glendower House and is a guesthouse.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Living Memories".
This building is now derelict. A sign of the times is here in the form of the AA box (right) with two AA patrol men going across the road for a quick one! The three men wearing peaked caps (centre right) could well be airmen from one of several nearby airfields; one of them, Hemswell, is now a very large antiques centre. The signpost (left) is a mass of information; there is now a large traffic island at this dangerous cross roads. The A15 is in fact a Roman road – Ermine Street.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Living Memories".
Here there is a profusion of telegraph wires and power cables, but no TV aerials. Actually, several more things have disappeared, including the signpost, which has been replaced by much smaller signs that are partially covered by the hedge. No one seems to know when the chapel on the right was demolished; before it was demolished it was used by Mr Taylor for animal food storage. The Crown Inn and Restaurant (the white building to the left of the road) is still there, as are the other houses. This photograph looks towards Market Rasen.
An extract from from"Lincolnshire Living Memories".
The village lost its medieval church to bombs in World War II and has
expanded much since the War, partly due to Lincoln’s proximity and partly
to the RAF. In this view we look past the Horse and Jockey pub towards the
south of the village; the church is beyond the high tree on the left.
