A Walk down Lincoln High Street

Old house on the corner of a modern roundabout junction in the City of Lincoln

I am often in the pedestrian area of the high street in Lincoln but it’s been a few years since I have been down the other end. So the other Saturday I went for a walk with a camera.

The high street starts at St Catherine’s roundabout junction. On one corner is a victorian church now a community resource and the opposite corner this lovely old house.

St Basil and St Paisios Greek Orthodox church in Lincoln. The clock down can be seen in the centre top of the tower and a man in a leather jacket walks by. A car is parked in front of the church.

As you walk down there are several old parish churches. Like the one at St Catherine’s some have been sold, this one is now a Greek Orthodox Church.

An old high street terrace house. Two shops in the ground floor of two of them, both second hand shops.

Along side old shops that seem to have been there for years, I noticed a much more mixed ethnic side to the town. Languages from all over the world could be found as well as African and Indian grocery shops.

An African food shop next to an old antique shop.  The bright colours of the food shop contrast with the dark tones of the old antique shop.

Far more interesting then the identical corporate shops found at the top of the high street that look like any other town centre.
