It's About Lincoln | Discover the best of Lincoln. Lincoln Cathedral is now on Google Street View. Lincoln Cathedral is now one of the first cathedrals in the UK to offer walk-through panoramas of its interior on Google Street View. The Cathedral worked to create the interactive tour with Lincoln photographer Darren Juggins, who has been part of Google’s Business Photos project since April. As previously reported, a number of businesses in uphill Lincoln have already created interior tours for their premises, and some 50 other locations across Lincolnshire have been photographed as well. Phil Hamlyn Williams, Cathedral Chief Executive, said: “This is a very exciting step to take to give those thinking of visiting a different sort of sneak preview of what to expect.
I hope it will whet many more appetites and attract more visitors to this brilliant city.” Here’s the interior Street View of Lincoln Cathedral [Google Maps] When the Spires were Removed. Brayford – From Transport Hub to Entertainment Centre. BRAYFORD was the commercial centre of Lincoln for almost 2,000 years. Until the mid-20th century it was surrounded by mills, grain stores and allied businesses. Kendalls boatyard on the south side built boats that worked the River Witham and the Fossdyke Canal. Gradually the water traffic disappeared and the area became rundown and derelict. Now it is the entertainment centre of Lincoln: A cinema, bars, restaurants and pubs plus events on the university campus make this a bustling area.
The south side has a large marina with boats of all sizes and types. To read more about the Brayford click here Like this: Like Loading... Brayford pool,Lincoln UK. boat trip.wmv. A Royal Residence? May Not Know Much About Art, But I Know What I Like. Usher Gallery The quote above is from Monty Python, the Michaelangelo sketch, I thought about it today when I visited the Usher Gallery (formerly the Usher ART Gallery). This was my first visit in a number of years and it seems to me that the ART has been taken out of the building as well as the name. There are still a few Peter De Wint paintings and one of best collections of porcelain in the country, but “The Persistence of Collage” exhibition did nothing for me: I, too. could paste newspaper headlines on a canvas. James Ward Usher (1845-1921) was a jeweller and art collector, when he died he bequeathed his collection to the City of Lincoln on condition that it was housed in a building hat bore his name. He also left £60,000 towards the cost of the building.
