Video of old Lincoln street scenes

It’s Lincoln Festival of History weekend, so we thought it would be apt to share another collection of old photographs of the city from Light and Dreams Photography.

This selection was put together by John Bennett about four years ago: “I've tried to put together a varied collection of old photos from around Lincoln. Many are of the High Street and city centre, but others are from residential areas further out. Some are over a century old, whereas others are much more recent. Mind you, for me the 1970s and 80s are recent.” 

Thanks as always to John for putting this video together – you can discover more in our Heritage section or by visiting John’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@lightanddreamsphotography7140
