Last week, I went up to Lincoln for the day to do some research on a 15th century manor house. Unfortunately, the archive experience was rather disappointing and unsuccessful but once they closed I was able to go exploring the city, photographing lovely things...
The walk up Steep Hill (yes, that's the name of a street):
Carving on the great west door of Lincoln Cathedral:
Around the Cathedral precinct:
It must be said that I'm not always one for medieval, Gothic buildings but Lincoln Cathedral is really something else. Truly awe-inspiring and astoundingly beautiful:
More exploring around the Cathedral precinct:
The trip back down Steep Hill:
Unfortunately, not only the archives but practically everything in Lincoln seems to shut at 4pm! That meant that I just had to gaze lustily through the windows of pretty shops selling antiques, prints and vintage clothes:
I think a proper trip to Lincoln is definitely on the cards. Perhaps even an overnight stay, in order to fit in the Cathedral, the Castle and all the delightful shops...
So lovely, Miss Marie! That one with the phonebooth in the foreground is one I'd have been snapping right beside you! And the flowers on the wall :-) I like where your eye falls.
