My mother and father ran the Queen Hotel High St Lincoln in the 60s and I lived there through until I got married. I can tell you the Queens really rocked in the 60s and I had absolute ball there.
The bar never closed to till way passed midnight, we had foam and soda syphon parties most weekends it really was a great place to spend ones teenage years in the 60s. All the big stars stopped there could tell you a few stories of all sorts carrying ons.
Linet your 21st would have been upstairs in the Dinning Room, lovely room with own Bar. I probably danced with you ! I gate crashed all the parties.
Allan your under ostler relation would have worked right through the back where the old stables were in the car park, later converted to garages.
Geof your football match was being relayed by me (illegally) from the American Forces Network and then pumped around the hotel via tannoy system
Sally thank you for the great picture. Brought back the memories.
I think it is still standing, its massive at the back I was in room 13 (no else would go in it) I had a pair of stockings as the light pull, bet they are still hanging there.
Would love to go round the old place any news greatly appreciated.
Some one mentioned the church, the cellar was absolutely massive, stretching down the length of the carpark and many passages going off. One which was collapsed was rumored to go the the Church across the way. Also big secret this a roman well is located in the car park not far from the back door, it was filled in as was the some of the cellar.
