The Lincoln Castle Hotel

The Lincoln Castle Hotel is a hotel built in 1851 by William Kirk of Lincoln for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company. It has undergone 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond, with the front colourwashed and the sides and rear rendered. It features a slate roof and has a T-shaped plan, consisting of a 2-room front with stairs and services at the rear. The hotel is three storeys high and has seven bays, arranged symmetrically with a central entrance that is now blocked; the current entrances are located to the left and right returns.

The hotel has a plinth with six cellar openings, most of which are now blocked, situated beneath cambered rubbed brick arches. There are angle pilasters that are channelled above the first floor, with moulded stucco capitals and wreaths in the frieze, supporting moulded cornice guttering. The floors are divided by three-course chamfered brick bands. On the ground floor, there are six recessed 12-pane sash windows with stucco cills and 20th-century decorative fans above, all within round-headed recessed openings that have outer rubbed brick arches. The first floor features 12-pane sash windows and unequal second-floor sash windows with glazing bars under rubbed brick cambered arches. Above, there is a stepped brick frieze and gutter, along with raised stone-coped gables and stacks at the rear. The left and right returns have bands between floors and pilaster details similar to the front.

The Lincoln Castle Hotel, formerly known as The Yarborough Arms, is a prominent landmark on the south bank of the Humber, associated with the former ferry terminal and is one of the earliest buildings in the 19th-century village of New Holland.
