An old OS 6 ins to mile  map (1950) on this site has the building on the site you mention as Lindum Lodge:

Zoom in to max and you'll see it

Lindum Lodge (Lindum Cottage in 1957 directory) was actually 33 Sewell Rd, the residents being given as Miss D WEST and Thos H TIMMS. (no other description)

Cold Bath House (opposite) was bombed during WW2 and ceased to exist.

That's the same map as my link, Geoff - 1948/1950 6 ins. So where on earth was 103 - all the maps point to that site

That's the same map as my link, Geoff - 1948/1950 6 ins.

My map was actually 25 inch and prewar.

Pic is from 1957 directory.  The only other thing on that side of the road was County Hospital (from which I was discharged fifty years ago yesterday).

The "names" part of the directory has the man has Thomas Harry TIMMS.  Perhaps he was 1896-1993 of which Ancestry (to which I don't have access) has photos and several mentions.  Does Ancestry have any mention of his profession?  Perhaps he was just a man in lodgings.

Goodness - I was just about to get ready for university then 

So, 103 doesn't appear in any directories either - very odd*. What number would Coldbath House be?

Was there a renumbering - 103 = 33 

PS -  are you sure it's 25 ins to the mile - my link, when enlarged, has more detail. I'm not doing a clip because of Copyright.

PPS - Royal Mail only list 1-90 Sewell Road in Post Code Finder

Goodness - I was just about to get ready for university then  I had A-levels imminent, so the fact that I was being treated for concussion had my parents worried.

So, 103 doesn't appear in any directories either - very odd*. What number would Coldbath House be?

Was there a renumbering - 103 = 33    With so few houses, hardly worth the bother.

PS -  are you sure it's 25 ins to the mile - my link, when enlarged, has more detail. I'm not doing a clip because of Copyright.  Quite sure, note that St Annes Bedehouses are shown with dividing lines.  Wiki tells me ErrorSPAM REPORT THIS POST AS SPAM (Use 'Report to Moderator').

Note I added a bit to previous post.

got to go off now, but could you possibly find who lived in the higher 'odd numbers' . I'm wondering if there's a bit of an error in damson's info about 103.

Where did the 103 come from, damson?

will check Timms' occ when I get back, if no one else has.

There were none.

The tree that has the photos doesn't mention Lincoln, never mind a profession!
