Lindsey County Council was the county council of Lindsey, one of the three Parts of Lincolnshire in eastern England. It came into its powers on 1 April 1889 and was abolished on 1 April 1974.[1] The county council was initially based at the County Hall, Lincoln Castle and then, from 1932, based at the County Offices in Lincoln.[2] It was amalgamated with Holland County Council and Kesteven County Council to form the new Lincolnshire County Council in 1974.[3]
