Caption For Lincoln, High Street 1923

This view shows the ornate cast-iron balcony of the Saracen's Head Hotel, now shops, and the tower of St Peter at Arches beyond Stone Bow, built in 1720, demolished in 1933 and largely rebuilt in Lamb

Again a much-changed view, this time looking into The Turnpike from Manor Road.
