Great Central Library Warehouse – A Brief History

The Great Central Warehouse was first constructed in 1907 by the Great Central Railway and was originally named Great Central Goods & Grain Warehouse. The large metal sliding doors in the east wing provided access to Locomotives, making it easier to load the trains. It was later purchased by a building company in the 1950’s and became a Builders Warehouse and was renamed Great Central Pattinson Warehouse before falling in to disrepair in 1998. In 2004 it was finally reopened by the University of Lincoln as a Library renamed Great Central Library Warehouse.
