River Witham north of Bracebridge, Lincoln

A public footpath follows a bend of the River Witham, looking northeastwards towards a residential area approximately 2.5 kilometres south of Lincoln city centre and 600 metres north of Bracebridge bridge. This photograph was taken on a humid afternoon in early May. Viewed from the largely undeveloped western bank of the Witham between Bracebridge and Dixon Street, the riverside homes on the corner of Fairfax Street and Park Lane can be seen (centre) with the white rear of the Aldi supermarket on Newark Road (A1434) extending into frame from the right. Though much of this footpath is insulated from the noises of the city, here the sounds of ducks splashing and birds chirping are unfortunately drowned out by the constant hum of the local Walkers crisp factory, whose fenced yard of grimy container lorries lines the opposite bank just upstream (south) of this point.

Hartsholme Lake

The Boat House and White Bridge in Hartsholme Park. The lake was constructed by the Lincoln Waterworks Company in 1848 as a water supply for Lincoln. In 1868 local industrialist Joseph Shuttleworth built Hartsholme Hall overlooking the Lake. The hall was pulled down in 1951 and the park became a country park in 1978.

New Housing Near the River Witham Lincoln

Despite being close to the river, Lincolns excellent flood defence plan should keep these houses safe.

Boultham Park Lodge

Presumably contemporary with Boultham Hall, built in 1874. The Hall was the home of the Ellison family, used as a convalescent home during the first world war and sold to the City Council in 1929. Unable to find a suitable use for the building, it was eventually demolished in 1959 and the grounds used as a public park. This lodge and solitary gatepier stand at the entrance to Hall Drive from Boultham Park Road.
