Lunchtime Talk: Lincoln Castle in the 20th Century
Join us for a fascinating lunchtime talk exploring the lesser-known modern history of Lincoln Castle.
The Castle story often focuses on its early history and the themes of defence, justice and administration, often ending with the closure of the Victorian Prison in 1878. But the story of Lincoln Castle did not stop there and of course the story goes on right to the present day,
This talk focuses on those intervening years, exploring those decades and extending our knowledge of the Castle in the 20th Century.
Discover what happened to the Prison and Lucy Tower and find out what happened at the Castle during wartime. Hear about the early visitors and how Lincoln Castle became a major and award-winning tourist attraction.
You’ll also hear about the castle’s earliest tourists and the changing role of the site throughout the modern era.
Enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee as Malcolm Ross our expert speaker from the Friends of Lincoln Castle, reveals the Castle’s rich history. Tickets are £5 per person and capacity is limited, so booking in advance is essential to secure your place.
