The '''Parts of Lindsey''' are a traditional division of [[Lincolnshire]],
As with the other historic divisions of Lincolnshire, Lindsey is no longer a local government unit, although its name survives in that of two districts of the county council area Lincolnshire ([[East Lindsey|East]] and [[West Lindsey]]), and it is still recognised as a geographical area.
==Local government==
When the English shires were established, Lindsey became part of Lincolnshire. It, and each of [[Kesteven]] and [[Parts of Holland|Holland]], acquired the formal designation of [[Parts of Lincolnshire]]. Thus it became the

Lindsey was itself divided into three [[Riding (division)|riding]]s, the North, West and South Ridings and then into [[wapentake]]s. The [[West Riding of Lindsey|West Riding]] covered the western part, including [[Gainsborough, Lincolnshire|Gainsborough]], [[Scunthorpe]] and [[Spital, Lincolnshire|Spital]]. The [[North Riding of Lindsey|North Riding]] covered the north-east, including [[Barton upon Humber]], [[Caistor]], [[Cleethorpes]], [[Glanford Brigg|Brigg]], [[Grimsby]], and [[Market Rasen]]. The [[South Riding of Lindsey|South Riding]] covered the rest, in the south-east, including [[Louth, Lincolnshire|Louth]], [[Mablethorpe]] and [[Skegness]]. The point at which the Ridings touched was somewhere near [[Lissington]].<ref>http://www.roffe.freeserve.co.uk/lindsey.htm {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060107032828/http://www.roffe.freeserve.co.uk/lindsey.htm |date=7 January 2006 }}</ref>▼

▲Lindsey was itself divided into three [[Riding (division)|riding]]s
Lindsey, like the other parts of Lincolnshire, had long had a separate county administration ([[Quarter Sessions]]). In 1889, this division was followed in the establishment of the [[administrative counties of England|administrative county]] of '''Lincolnshire, Parts of Lindsey''', which had an elected [[county council]]. [[Lincoln, Lincolnshire|Lincoln]] and [[Grimsby]] were independent [[county borough]]s.
Within the rest of Lindsey there were various [[Urban district (Great Britain and Ireland)|urban district]]s and [[rural district]]s, established by the [[Local Government Act 1894]]. The rural districts were [[Caistor Rural District|Caistor]], [[Gainsborough Rural District|Gainsborough]], [[Glanford Brigg Rural District|Glanford Brigg]], [[Grimsby Rural District|Grimsby]], [[Horncastle Rural District|Horncastle]], [[Isle of Axholme Rural District|Isle of Axholme]], [[Louth Rural District|Louth]], [[Spilsby Rural District|Spilsby]], [[Welton Rural District|Welton]]. A rural district of [[Sibsey Rural District|Sibsey]] also existed until 1936, when it was merged into Spilsby.
