Lincoln: The Postcard Collection Spree Alan
Lincoln can trace its history back to an Iron Age settlement by the River Witham, subsequently a Roman and Viking town. Medieval Lincoln was one of the wealthiest towns in the country and many buildings from this period survive today. The Norman castle and medieval cathedral, built on a ridge, still dominate the city today, with the suburbs spread out below the hill.
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. The city experienced another boom during the Industrial Revolution and manufacturing is still an important part of the city today. 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.
