Hi there was a pow camp at Allington no 51 and if you google Allington pow camp there is a lovely writeup on the first item from the Grantham Journal written by John Pinchbeck one of our local historians that I think you will find interesting about German pows that did not want to leave the camp.It closed in 1947.

There was a camp at Sudbrooke just a few miles from Lincoln. I believe the pows worked on the farms.
