The Westgate Lincoln Time Shift Collection, with public hangings, typhoid and ghost dogs!

#lincoln #history #thenandnow #memories #nostalgia #typhoidfever #execution The first three time shifts in this collection of four have been posted before, the final one is new. Most of the houses in the area are Victorian, with a few more modern additions. Some houses were demolished to create car parks, as this is at the centre of tourist Lincoln. The building on the right in the undated first old photo is The Strugglers Inn, a very popular local pub, and frequent winner of Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) awards. It was built in 1841, and was initially known as "the Struggler Beer Shop". The pub sign shows a man struggling while being led to the nearby gallows. This was when hangings were public on the junction of Westgate with Burton Road, approximately where the photo was taken from. On the left in the first old photo you can see a police call box. Public hangings were later moved to a gibbet on Cobb Hall Tower, on the north-east corner of the Castle, and these attracted crowds of up to 25,000 people. A "carnival atmosphere" was said to ensue, with many pubs in the area letting out their premises as viewing platforms for the gory spectacle. The last public hanging in Lincoln was August 1859, but executions continued inside the Castle until 1961. There is another connection between The Strugglers and the hangings, as the pub is said to be haunted by the dog of a condemned man. William Clarke was hung for the murder of a gamekeeper, and he donated his Lurcher dog to the pub, and it stayed there until it died. The owner of the pub then had the dog stuffed, and for many years it was displayed on the bar, but it is now in the Castle museum. There have been reports of people hearing a dog barking, or felt it brush past them in the pub, but there is never anything there! The second time shift is taken from in front of The Strugglers, looking back towards the water tower. Construction on the tower started in 1910, and it opened in 1911. This followed the typhoid epidemic of 1904/5, during which 113 people died from water drawn out of the river. After many years of smaller epidemics, this finally persuaded the powers that be to find a new reliable water supply, which they did, from Elkesley in Nottinghamshire. The old photo shows a row of terraced houses where Westgate School now stands, and similar housing remains down both sides of the rest of Westgate. Records show that the original Westgate School opened as two schools in 1895, which I assume were somewhere behind the houses shown here? The two schools were amalgamated into a single school in 1911-13, but much of the current building is more recent than that. The third time shift includes a drawing by Samuel Hieronymus Grimm. It shows Lincoln Cathedral c1780, complete with the spires on the western towers that were removed in 1807. On the extreme right you can just see the bottom of the mound below the Castle walls, and on the left is one of the many incarnations of St. Paul's in the Bail church. This area used to be at the heart of Roman Lincoln, and It is thought that the first church may have been built towards the end of the Roman occupation around 411AD. This initial church was a timber structure, with the first stone church being built around 750, and the outline of this church has been marked out on the ground. A more substantial church was built in the 12th century, and I believe that is the one seen in the old drawing here. The final time shift, with an old photo from the 1960s, shows the Victorian St. Paul's church that was demolished in 1972. It also shows some terraced houses before they were demolished for a car park.
