well i took a nosey around lincoln today, the current construction crane count is six to put it in perspective though *everything* being built just about is apartments for students.
anyway... here's a look at some of the bright and shiny stuff in lincoln lately.
stuff under construction here is more uni accomodation. holmes wharf is on the left, 10 floors plus facade overrun. slender enough to look like a tower, ill get the heights on this and the other stuff next week.
the pavillions is another student block under construction, its 11 floors tall with a facade over run above it.
junxion is a 9 storey squat block, again for students completed last year. it has over 500 rooms and apartments in it!
expressionism is still alive and well at the school of architecture. very getty institute too i think.
im not sure what this building is, but its over the road from the junxion, i know its a uni building though. still, i like those sharp edges.
sadly post modernism is still hanging around like a bad smell in this part of the country. just check out these vile port holes. this is what they stuck over the ruins of the old roman garrison!
this is the tallest modern building in lincoln *still*. shuttleworth house, 50m, a rather boring commie block. the area used to be chav central but the number of students in lincoln has diluted that a bit.
lincoln has plenty of very cool victorian architecture, this little gem tucked away and thankfully listed lies right between st marks shopping centre and the uni on what would otherwise be prime development land.
the victorians did more than just twee buildings though, on the left is the victorian market place and that neo classical one is an old victorian trading hall.
no thread on lincoln would be complete without some ancient history. first up the most famous thing in the city, the cathedral.
the green dragon pub is a great example of tudor architecture. you can see they are about to build something next to it, the frame is about six floors high so far.
st swithins is the tallest medieval church in the city apart from the cathedral.
