The former Beevor Offices on Beevor Street during its transformation into Minster House, part of the Joseph Banks Laboratories, the University of Lincoln's new School of Pharmacy.
It is situated on the future location of a new Science and Innovation Park, built jointly by the Lincolnshire Coop and the University of Lincoln, off Tritton Road, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The University of Lincoln developed from a number of educational institutions in Hull including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), the Roman Catholic teacher-training Endsleigh College (1905), the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930), and Kingston upon Hull College of Education (1913). These institutions merged in 1976 to form Hull College of Higher Education, with a change of name to Humberside College of Higher Education in 1983 when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing based in Grimsby.
In 1992 it was one of the many institutions in the UK to become full universities as, briefly, the University of Humberside, growing to 13,000 students by 1993.
The cathedral city of Lincoln was without its own university, so the University of Humberside was approached to develop a new campus to the south west of the city centre, overlooking the Brayford Pool. The University was renamed the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside in January 1996, taking in its first 500 Lincoln students in September 1996, intending to grow to about 4,000 Lincoln based students within four years.
Opened by Queen Elizabeth II, the University's main campus in Lincoln was the first new city centre campus to be built in the UK for decades. More than £150 million has been invested in the Brayford Pool campus, transforming a city centre brownfield site, revitalising the area and attracting investment from the retail, leisure and property sectors. Economists estimate that the University has created at least 3,000 new jobs within Lincoln and that it generates more than £250 million every year for the local economy – doubling previous local economic growth rates.
The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.
In 2012 all Further Education provision was transferred from Riseholme College to Bishop Burton College. Bishop Burton College are now responsible for the Riseholme College to the north of the city.
Throughout the late-1990s, the University's sites in Hull were considerably scaled down as the focus shifted towards Lincoln. In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull; the site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. Until 2012 the University maintained a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment.

This seems to be one of a series of "official handbooks" issued by some of the Regional Development Boards to promote trade, industries and business in their region. Like many municipal handbooks they turned to the well known publishers of such volumes; E. J. Burrow of Cheltenham.
The South East England Development Board covered the Counties of Essex and Kent as well as, given the inclusion of one lone London borough St. Pancras Metropolitan Borough Council, London. The Board had various local authority members other than the County Councils and included both the Harlow Development Corporations in Essex. The Port of London Authority appears as does the local Gas Board (but not the Electricity Board!) and some other societies and institutions.
The handbook gives a good introduction to the area and its towns, alongs with the industries and developments underway such as a section on the construction of the new Dartford Tunnel that would physically connect both counties. Undated the text does eventually give c.1959 as the year. The front cover has been badly damaged by someone removing a sticker so there has been, unusually for me, a degree of photo reconstruction here.
