The Duke Of York was situated at 7 Lincoln Lane. This pub has now been demolished with a block of flats built on the site.
My maternal Grandma Lizzie Fowler worked here as a 14 year old servant in the 1880s. Her 6 year old sister Susannah lodged in the pub and her mother and new husband lived in a caravan parked in the pub yard.

From Lincolnshire Heritage:
A late 18th or early 19th century two storey public house constructed of brick with a steeply-pitched gabled pantile roof. A projecting public house frontage was added to the ground floor of the front, or south, elevation at some point between 1887 and 1903. The public house was demolished in 2019 and replaced with a block of 18 supported living flats.
