Let’s Visit The Historic City of Lincoln
The main city of Lincoln has ancient roots, but due to no motorways, you’ll find more local food than most places. You may have to go up Steep Hill to find them! For over 200 years, Lincoln Cathedral was the world’s tallest building, its carved stonework and stained glass dating back to 1072.
In 1905, Lincoln faced a serious health crisis, when a typhoid outbreak swept through the city. The cause was traced to polluted water, which had become contaminated by sewage. Hundreds of people fell ill, a timely reminder of why we need better sewage treatment, even today.
The town of Boston is where pilgrims came from when landing in Massachusetts (hence why there is a US city of the same name). Also here is Louth is ‘Lincolnshire’s favourite market town) where Georgian houses frame narrow streets, and the tall spire of St James’ Church stands out for miles.
