The half-timbered building shown here is the front part of Shodfriars' Hall (designed by brothers G G Scott junior and J O Scott) in South Street, Boston.

It was built in 1874 and includes timber framing of a smaller earlier building on the site.

Behind this front part is a red brick club-room with storage below.

Teapot Hall, Dalderby (TF 252 665) is a much-quoted example of a very simple cruck-framed cottage structure.

However, as M W Barley points out, its sloping walls would have denied headroom and are uncharacteristic of a cruck-framed cottage.

He concludes that it was not a genuine survival of a primitive tradition but was most likely built in the nineteenth century.

Unfortunately it was burned down in 1945 to celebrate VJ Day!

The front wall appears to be constructed in traditional mud and stud.

These two cottages are at the western end of the church yard. The main southern gate into the church yard is on the right.

The cottage nearest to the viewer is still extant (Vicarage Cottage) and has the date 1797 carved above the door.

The barely-visible thatched cottage behind it has been demolished (see separate image).

This simple cottage in typical Lincolnshire style was named Black Cottage. Presumably its walls were daubed with tar or pitch as a weatherproofing measure, a common feature in the County.

A priory was founded at Limber Magna before 1180 and dissolved in the 15th century.

All that remains of the priory is the old Priest's House with seven-feet thick stone walls.

It has been extended at various times and some of the stone has been faced with brick.

Hundreds of iron clad buildings were erected to house the workers building Immingham Docks in an area which became known as Tin Town.

One of these buildings is now on display at Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum furnished and decorated in the style of the 1950's.

Another has been Grade II listed "No. 359 Pelham Road is a corrugated iron bungalow dating to 1907 and erected by Price Wills and Reeve, the contractors employed to build Immingham docks"

https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391349

In 1907, Price, Wills and Reeve, the contractors building Immingham Docks, built temporary housing for their workers.

This bungalow on Pelham Road with its timber frame clad in corrugated iron sheets, is a surviving example.

It is now a listed building.

This quaint circular Cottage Orné in Langton by Spilsby (TF 392704) probably dates from the early 19th century.

(Curiously, Langton by Horncastle also has a 'Cottage Orné', though a less elaborate example that this. Dwellings of this type are quite uncommon in Lincolnshire.)

This small cottage in lower High Street was demolished and replaced by a new public house, Golden Cross Inn, in 1958.

The area between Exchequer Gate and the Castle in Lincoln, known as Castle Hill, is cobbled.

The timber-framed building on the corner of Bailgate, formerly a bank and now the local tourist office, has two overhangs and three gables.

On the north side of the hill towards the castle are fine 18th and 19th century houses.

The fifteenth century timber framed building, known as Whitefriars, in Akrill's passage, alongside 333 High Street, was restored by the Lincoln Co-operative Society in 1961.

William Akrill lived in the house and worked there as a baker in the second quarter of the nineteenth century.

The stone cottages on Newport, Lincoln, known as Willson's Cottages, were restored by Lincoln Civic Trust in 1993.

They were opened by H R H The Duke of Gloucester.

This early Victorian cottage in the centre of Navenby is named after its last occupant who died in 1995 aged 102. Its furnishings and fittings are entirely those of the nineteenth century.

It is currently being restored (2017).

This cottage is situated on the banks of the Caistor Canal in South Kelsey, but no more is known about exact location or its occupiers.

It appears to be of mud-and-stud construction.

This fine thatched cottage was owned and used by the Rt Rev Kenneth Riches when he was Bishop of Lincoln in the 1950s.

Although much extended this cottage shows that at its core is a mud and stud cottage.

Note the central door opening in line with the central chimney stack creating a typical baffle entry.

These cottages are examples of traditional Lincolnshire 'mud and stud' construction.

They have recent alterations, but were built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

One of several mud and stud cottages in the village's much-photographed main street.

This was a common form of construction found in vernacular buildings in the county, especially in south-east Lindsey.
