Good evening! And welcome to this narrated tour of the magnificent, historic city of Lincoln - a true cradle of English history with the best part of 2,000 years of heritage to be found at every corner!
On this walk around the city, we just about scratch the surface of Lincoln's illustrious history, but one thing we didn't mention on this walk was the origins of its name.
Very simply, the name is a portmanteau of the original Roman colonial settlement - Lindum Colonia - which itself was an adaptation of the native Celtic name 'Lindon', meaning 'The Pool', which very possibly referred to Brayford Pool near High Bridge, and where the University of Lincoln is now located!
Thank you fir this, it has made me almost terminally homesick, but what a beautiful city.
I love watching ur vlogs on lincoln I lived there for 28 years
Lincoln is perhaps the most underrated city in England, it seems to slip under the radar but I loved it and it’s a beautiful place
I lived in Newark until 1969 when I came out to Oz but Lincoln had always been my favourite city, together with its Cathedral.
Very informative and has well prepared me for my trip to Lincoln this weekend. Definately the best video on Lincoln.
I love my city & luckily live close to the cathedral. Ive said on many occasions its the best hidden city in England. People talk about York, yes lovely, BUT Lincoln is Lincolnshire, York isn't Yorkshire. We are the Shire as 1 city, Lincoln a jewel in the crown. 🍺🍺👍👍
I came out to Oz in 1969 but Lincoln has always been my favourite city. 🐨
Lincoln has lots of history.
Doctor Akice Riberts did a series of documentaries about cities and towns in England, and she called Lincoln "England's most historic town" .
I lived here for a while, it is nice to come back like this.
I travel extensively, all over the World, normally to historic sites Prior to travelling, I like to research, including using RUclips. I must compliment you, this has been one of the most interesting and informative videos, I have watched. Really appreciate it.
Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon have a great day greetings from Canada 😀
Thanks for this insightful walk, we’d like to visit this city again and more so from having seen this. Best wishes to you and keep on walking!
I really like Lincoln with places like the New Theatre Royal, the Everyman and Odeon Cinemas, the High Street, the Drill Hall, St Marks etc
My hometown, It's a good job I wasn't walking with you as I could have narrated tales of 30 plus buildings on that walk detailing my family history, pub and shops they ran, tales of the hotels, the foundry that made lamp standards still found in the city, the baptisms and weddings at the churches along with the many funerals of three centuries of my ancestors and relatives. Within 50 yards of where the walk ended there would be a dozen stories alone including the grandson of a shop owner who was awarded the DSO and OBE as well as the birthplace of my parents and several maternal generations, not forgetting not one but two family members who became the oldest residents of Lincoln during their lives. Through marriage I have a link to the widow of a clergyman who move to Lincoln shortly before WWI after her husband died and the tragic story of how she lost five sons in the war. The street she lived on has a story connected to a fateful night during WWII as well.
FYI University of Lincoln is not the only university in the town. There is also Bishop Grosseteste University which is in Up Hill Lincoln and is named after one of the Bishops of Lincoln.
Beautiful
Really enjoyed this walk, you have inspired me to go and visit Lincoln for myself thanks
It’s a great county. Much maligned.
You will love it , it is beautiful.
What a valuable asset you are to the RUclips channel 👏 👏 Please keep sending us many more sensational videos like this one🙏 May we continue to build old historical buildings.
There’s a blue plaque outside Browns Pie shop on steep hill. T E Laurence lived there while writing Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
Great job with the narration.
My mother remembers the black and white building which I think is the tourist office as being the National and Provincial bank when the city was more of a workhorse rather than a show pony. Just along from where I was born was Lincoln Prison,where a certain Micheàl Collins helped spring Eamon de Valera from prison.
Brilliant video !!!!!
Beautiful place, it captivated my heart, I wish someday I can visit Lincoln too, I just love historical places ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your interesting tutorial of Lincoln City, also narrated very well. Thank you.
Planning on going this summer - the was a most delightful introduction to the beautiful and historic city. Well Done, thank you.
When I lived here back in the 1960's, you were able to climb the stone spiral staircase to the top of the Cathedral tower. I've been up there twice and there is one mighty view from up there. Also, double decker busses used to go under the Stonebow arch before the high street was pedestrianised, the high street being a major route through the city prior to the inner ring roads being built, The last time I was in Lincoln was when the Grand Hotel stood on the site of the new bus station.
I love Lincoln and its an hour by train 🚆 from my village 💪
What a nice place.
Lovely
Wow , just wow . what a great review of lincoln . Due to go there next week as part of my travelling holiday . so looking forward too it . thankyou so much .

Great Vlog
Lincoln is absolutely lovely, just as much as Skye
Great video, really insightful.
17:56 that used to me a joke shop. Many good memories there.
Thank you.
Oh look it's my home city, i wasn't born here so i'm not a yellow belly, moved to Lincoln back in the early 80's
Nice Vlog
I feel this was the 1st video I saw of yours?
If you look up in the cathedral you can see the Lincoln imp idk if he said that
Very enjoyable. Didn't the derogatory phrase "it's a shambles", originate from Lincoln due to the state of it's local meat markets. I also heard that both Walt Disney's family and the Pembertons - the inventors of Coca-Cola are also from this neck of the woods.
There's a village outside of Lincoln called Norton Disney which was home to the Disney family, although nobody is 100% sure Walt Disney is part of that family specifically.
Shambles is york
The castle gaol wasn’t just a debtors prison as it housed several high profile,dangerous inmates; such as Michael Collins, head of the IRA, who actually effected an escape from there.
My daughter got her degree there
I thought Salisbury and Norwich were taller cathedrals?
They are now, but Lincoln Cathedral's spire collapsed in 1548 and was never rebuilt.
It overtook the Great Pyramid of Giza as the tallest building in the world.
Lincoln used to have spires, that was when it was the tallest building in the world. There is a painting of it by Turner, if you wish to see ot then.

Fatal mistake by Cromwell to allow the Jews back in to England...
Opinions such as yours should be banned, You are a bigot and should be ashamed.
@@maureenleigh4724 No opinions should be banned, not even yours. I would be more ashamed of being proud of upholding the misery of others, as you are perhaps unwittingly doing. The thing is I am not wrong in what I say, which you would realise if you bothered to step outside of your NPC normie bubble and questioned EVERYTHING.
@@EgoShredder I won't bother to reply to your outdated views. The Nazis thought they were right, too.
