The Harvest Moon was situated on Wolsey Way. This grade-II listed pub was originally an 18th century farmhouse - Glebe Farm which disappeared under the Glebe Park housing development through the 1980s & '90s. The farmhouse became the Harvest Moon pub until it closed in November 2003 and has been empty ever since. Now derelict and vandalised.

The Grade II-listed former Harvest Moon public house dates from the 18th century, and was originally a farmhouse known as Bunkers Hill Farm or Glebe Farmhouse. It is situated on Glebe Park, a modern estate built from the late 1960s, and is bounded by Wolsey Way to the south, existing properties to the west, and an area of parkland to the north and east. It has a single-storey rearward extension, with a detached former barn located along the rear boundary of the site. Having stood unused since c. 2007, however, the buildings are currently in poor condition with fire damage to the roof of the main building. Development proposals involved new-build construction or conversion of existing structures to form nine dwellings. Planning consent granted by City of Lincoln Council on the 6th of February 2014, required that groundworks for the five new dwellings were monitored and recorded archaeologically. Site attendance was undertaken between the 14th and 24th of February 2014, and a variety of buried archaeological deposits and features were recorded. The results provided no evidence for ancient occupation, however, with all material being instead either of natural origin, undated, or of late 19th to mid 20th century provenance.
