Former hospital, Bracebridge Heath The main building of the former County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, built in 1849-52 by Hamilton & Medland, and then Hamilton and Thomas Percy. Grade II listed. Many later additions; it was later St John's Hospital. The hospital closed in 1989, and the site was here being redeveloped for housing. A surprising number of the original buildings have survived.

52-55 South Park, Lincoln A row of 4 houses previously known as 4 to 1 South Park Villas. (I can find only two planning applications for 4 houses in South Park, both 1872 in date). Planning for no.55 was approved for owner/architect Barker & Son in April 1948 for 'conversion', possibly to flats? Planning for no.52 was approved for owners Lindum Estates, architect C Warren-Neil in August 1951 for 'conversion'. Nos. 54 and 55 differ from the other two in having only one access door, presumably a passage. They now comprise 7 flats, 6 1-bed and 1 3-bed in the basement. 2021 particulars described them as "looking a little ‘tired’ and would benefit from a scheme of refurbishment".

International Bomber Command Centre The International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) has been created to provide a world-class facility to serve as a point for recognition, remembrance and reconciliation for Bomber Command. This sculpture commemorates Operation Manna, one of the most unbelievable bombing missions by the Allies in World War II. It took place in the closing days of the war, but instead of dropping bombs that resulted in death and destruction, the four-engine British Lancaster and American Flying Fortress bombers were dropping rations for salvation and mercy. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2021/05/flying-high-operation-manna-memorial-sculpture-complete-at-ibcc/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2021/05/flying-high-operation-manna-memorial-sculpture-complete-at-ibcc/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

The Spire At the heart of the International Bomber Command Centre are the Memorial Spire and Walls of Names. The Spire is 102ft (31.09m) high, the wingspan of the Avro Lancaster bomber, and commands stunning views across Lincoln, with a focus on the City’s ancient Cathedral, which served as a sighting point for crews flying from Lincolnshire. For many of the men named on the accompanying walls, the Cathedral provided their last sight of Britain.

Memorial to Operation Manna At the International Bomber Command Centre. In late spring 1945, 33 RAF bomber squadrons dropped more than 7,000 tons of food supplies into German-occupied parts of the Netherlands, flying below 500ft to deliver the food without parachutes. According to the Lincoln-based centre, Operation Manna had a major impact and has never been forgotten by the Dutch. However they suggest this major humanitarian operation is little known in Britain and, unable to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Manna last year due to COVID-19 restrictions, it instead commissioned a memorial sculpture that was unveiled on June 5 2021. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.keymilitary.com/article/operation-manna-memorial-sculpture-unveiled" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.keymilitary.com/article/operation-manna-memorial-sculpture-unveiled">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
