Historic Background
Lincoln is steeped in history, dating back to Roman times when the city served as a key settlement along the Fosse Way and Ermine Street. The Romans established a military Colonia on the Lincolnshire Edge, which later became a significant Norman stronghold with the construction of the Cathedral and Castle following the Conquest. Although Lincoln’s strategic importance diminished after the Great North Road (A1) and River Trent crossings at Newark were established, its historical and cultural significance remains unparalleled.
