Time Travel around the West End of Lincoln

This is the area of Lincoln where I was born in 1957, so I have very fond memories of it. For the benefit of this video I have taken the boundaries of the "west end" to be the city centre, the West Common, Yarborough Road, and the Fossdyke canal. Most of the housing here was built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but developments are of course ongoing, especially with the University of Lincoln now well established at this side of the city. As with yesterday's collection from the Monks Road area of Lincoln, this isn't an exhaustive collection, but the streets you will see are, in the order they appear; Carholme Road, West Parade, Yarborough Road, Hewson Road, Holmes Bridge, the end of Foss Street and the Abbey in the West pub, the junction of Hampton Street and West Parade during the 1905 Typhoid epidemic, Queens Crescent, the end of Carholme Road and the Oddfellows Arms pub, and finally Wellington Street. As well as the lost pubs you will see St. Martin's church, St. Faith's school, many old corner shops, the take over of the area by cars, and lots more. I have several more new time shifts of the area in the pipeline, but if you want to know more about anything you see here please use the search facility for their individual videos and more historical background information...
