Lawress Hall
My family and I moved to Lincoln in February 1993 whilst Lawress Hall was being constructed, in preparation for its inaugural opening. Many other people were also relocated to staff this college, all being transferred from various locations around the UK.
At the time, this residential college provided the Department with a state of the art facility with full media walls in the lecture rooms and conference theatre, bedrooms (all en-suite), a fully licensed bar and restaurant, leisure pool and jacuzzi, gym and games room... all located in a wonderful lakeside environment. Prior to this most training for the Inland Revenue was conducted in hotels up and down the country.
Whilst I spent many rewarding years working for the Inland Revenue, the highlight of my career was teaching management and personal development courses, and managing the administration staff in this great building. It is a shame it is no longer going to be required in the new slimmer HMRC.
You can get some idea of the excellent facilities on offer from the photographs below:
