Parts of Lincolnshire

The three Parts of Lincolnshire are divisions of the county of Lincoln, the second-largest county in the United Kingdom. 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.
