Lincoln was a major centre under Roman, Viking and medieval rule
and each of these eras has left its mark on the city. The surviving
Roman and Norman monuments are of particular note. The cathedral
and the castle, which dominate the city, were built in the years
following the Norman Conquest. Both were further developed and
rebuilt over the next two centuries, the cathedral becoming one of
Britain's finest examples of Early English gothic. The city's
political and commercial importance was in decline by the end of
the Middle Ages and it did not see significant revival before the
eighteenth century. Improving communications, first by water and
later by rail, led to new phases of development and growth. The
most recent decades have brought major changes and the growth of
newer industries. The book is a well illustrated and readable
introduction to the city's past that will appeal to residents and
visitors alike. An important feature of the book is a series of
walking tours, linked to the text but designed to be used
independently of it. These tours show the reader how the history of
the city can be read in its existing streets and buildings.
