Lincoln; Urban Ramble, part 2

Next morning we visited some of the places there was not enough time for yesterday (or were not on the route).

The first tanks used in World War 1 were made in Lincoln at the William Foster factory and there is a memorial for this on the Triton Way roundabout, conveniently close to our hotel near Ropewalk. Another tourist "emblem" for Lincoln is the Empowerment Sculpture spanning the River Witham by the City Square.

No visit to Lincoln is complete without passing through the Guildhall and Stonebow archway along the High Street, then ascending to The Strait and Steep Hill (well it deserves that name) and further up to the Cathedral for more great views. Behind it, on East Gate, are the remains of the North Tower of the Roman East Gate.

After that, we walked down to the so-called Cultural Quarter via the Usher Gallery, a charming diversion. Lincoln is a wonderful place!Read more
