The County Offices is a municipal building in Newland, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.

History

Newland House, a Grade II listed building[1]

In the late 19th century and early 20th century meetings of Lindsey County Council were held at County Hall, Lincoln Castle.[2]

In 1924 Lindsey County Council commissioned a new building which incorporated the frontage of a house known as Newland House which had been designed by William Hayward and completed in 1824.[3][1] The remainder of the house was demolished and replaced with a substantial structure designed by Scorer and Gamble and completed in 1932.[3] The new structure was built around two quadrangles.[3] The first phase was the northern facade and quadrangle (which incorporated the original facade) and the second phase was the southern facade and quadrangle which was built in a Neo-Georgian style with brick and innovative concrete dressings.[3] The third phase involved inserting an Art Deco staircase into Newland House.[3]

Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1972, the building was transferred to the newly-created Lincolnshire County Council in 1974.[1]

gollark: Maybe. It's hard to judge. If you average across all platforms ever, then probably.

gollark: I fear it.

gollark: The very ominously named "online safety bill" is very ominous and would impose ridiculous compliance requirements on basically everything, as well as allowing the media regulator to block sites which don't comply, as well as in a plausibly-deniable way banning end to end encryption, as well as requiring all web platform things to censor "harmful content".

gollark: The UK is also doing bad things nominally but not really in opposition to technology companies.

gollark: Australis is doing rather bad things seemingly not driven by and not desired by any tech companies.
