      Dr Caitlin Green Retweeted Survey of Lincoln

      A new booklet entitled 'Pubs in Lincoln: A History' was launched today—a fascinating topic! :) Fwiw, I wrote a bit about the pubs & inns of Louth, Lincolnshire, a few years back in a street-by-street history of the town: http://www.caitlingreen.org/p/the-streets-of.html … >https://twitter.com/SurvLinc/status/931482609808527360 …

      Dr Caitlin Green added,

      Survey of Lincoln @SurvLinc
      Tomorrow is launch day of the new booklet. Tea/coffee (sorry, no beer!) and speakers. If you can't attend (and get a discount- £6.50 rather than £7.50), it will be in stock @Waterstones, @SocLincsHist at Jews Ct, and @LindumBooks, Bailgate, Lincoln from late pm. @Lincoln_CAMRA pic.twitter.com/lTw5D5ceHQ

      > For Louth, an interesting debate is 'which is the oldest pub?' Very much depends on what you mean!

          Another notorious Louth pub was the Dog & Duck, opposite the chancel of the church on Upgate. In Jan 1846, Sergeant Chapman and PC Ryall forced entry after they saw lights on after closing, against the objections of the landlord, Joseph Johnson… (pic=Wm Brown, 1856) >pic.twitter.com/7hHfmVBdCJ

          Aswell 'Lane' later Street, used to have two great fish & chip shops in the 1940s early 1950s opposite each other. #Louth is lovely.

          It is indeed! Alas, the last fish and chip shop shut recently — Hagan's, or Mr Chips, which had been running since at least 1909 :(

          The Rag & Louse? I’m assuming that was a well-earned name. I get the louse part, but ... rag? All in all, it doesn’t sound like a high class establishment. 😁
