Lincoln: a tale of two cities

Living in Lincoln, East Midlands

I had the chance to escape back in the 80s and blew it big time. A good job near Heathrow and a lovely girlfriend in Oxfordshire only a couple of miles from Henley on Thames. Temporary insanity is the only thing I can attribute to my decision to return to my hometown, that and being […]

Gainsborough: A vista of **** 70’s housing & disused factory buildings

Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, Property Guide

Sunny Gainsborough… the ****’s dreamland… A vista of cheap seventies housing and disused riverside factory buildings, once proud, now housing charity shops. Well… where to start? Gainsboough is a town that barely figures on a map of the area, let alone England, set in the heartland of Lincolnshire’s bustling district of West Lindsey. Although Burberry […]
