Report - Barbican / Albion Hotel, Lincoln

[Exploring with Andy]

The Barbican Hotel in Lincoln was originally opened as a gentleman’s club in 1867. During the 1870s the building became the Albion Hotel, and was quite a prestigious place to stay in its time; an important early hotel it still retains original external features.

During the 1980s the hotel was renamed to the Barbican. In 2006 eight people were rescued from a blaze started in a bedroom on the second floor. The Barbican Hotel closed during the 2000s and despite being purchased by developers in 2008 has stood empty ever since.

The entrance hall was quite nice...

Note the dome shaped roof lantern in the bar...

Some areas were suffering the neglect...

And other areas were in good condition, and very hotely...
