Parts of Lincolnshire
The three Parts of Lincolnshire are divisions of the county of Lincoln, the second-largest county in England and the fifth-largest overall. They are similar in nature to the three Ridings of Yorkshire. The three Parts are:
- Lindsey in the north, itself traditionally divided into three (North, South and West);
- Kesteven in the south-west; and
- Holland in the south-east.
Each of the Parts had long had separate county administration (Quarter Sessions), and each was created a discrete 'administrative county' with its own county council in 1889.
