Lincoln can trace its history back to an Iron Age settlement by the
River Witham, subsequently a Roman and Viking town. The Norman
castle and medieval cathedral, built on a ridge, still dominate the
city today, with the suburbs spread out below the hill. Medieval
Lincoln was one of the wealthiest towns in the country and many
buildings from this period survive today. The city experienced
another boom during the Industrial Revolution and manufacturing is
still an important part of the city today. In Lincoln: The Postcard
Collection author Alan Spree has drawn on a remarkable selection of
old postcards to give a pictorial record of life in Lincoln in the
past. Although much of Lincoln has changed over the years, many
landmarks have remained and will be familiar today. The postcards
show the changes to Lincoln's fabric and its community adapting and
changing over the course of this period. This fascinating
collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in
Lincoln or know it well.
