Snap-happy in Lincoln

There are far too many pretty towns and villages here in Britain and Lincoln is just one more example of this.
I had some time on my hands when my wife needed to go to her company's Lincoln office, so I tagged along and took some shots:


Go up "Steep Hill" I was told. "It's well worth it!"


Half way up (here looking back) I sincerely hoped so!


More climbing needed but nice houses and little shops


A small chapel with spring flowers


Bailgate with its Tudor houses


Lincoln Cathedral shot from Minster Yard . .


. . and from Pottergate.


From the side it could almost pass as York Minster


Opposite the Cathedral is Lincoln Castle with its walls


There used to be a wall around the city as in York but now only fragments exist like this one here called Newport Arch


Inside the castle I felt the urge to climb up to where the flag was flying and to have a walk on the wall


This is the sight from the wall towards the Cathedrale


Walking on top of the wall now with the Tower on the right



Inside the Castle grounds you find the old jail and a copy of the Magna Carta


as well as this odd looking building which is the Lincoln Magistrates Office


As I was takeing the lst picture I heard some odd flapping and thought:
"DUCK!!!" . . . . and so it was!!


On my way down to the town centre now, just glancing back


Nearly down now and getting more commercial all the time


Lincoln has worked hard to transform the area around High Street and Waterside


This is Waterside Shopping Centre looking towards High Street


Walking towards Brayford Wharf along a small passage


Brayford Wharf with its many bars on the right


Did someone say "BARS"????


Staggering back via High Street


A final glance of the Cathedral and just in time to pick up my wife from work

If you ask me which city I preferred - York or Lincoln - I have to give York the edge, as it is flat and does not interfere with the walking after a few pints of beer!!
