We think that as we pride ourselves on the fact that we hand make each watch in our workshop in England, it only seems important that we talk a bit about the beautiful city where we are based.
We are very fortunate to find our views from the windows looking out to the Cathedral. Lincoln Cathedral is one structure that should not be missed. For 238 years of its life it was the tallest building in the world but after the collapse of the main spire in 1548 it was not rebuilt and the world around grew taller!
It is a stunning Cathedral with details all the way back to the medieval period.
It has seen its fair shares of destruction through fires and earthquakes, but what stands today is a stunning feet of architecture and designs and the Cathedral resides over the city sitting on top of a hill and can be seen from all around.
Lincoln Castle is in the opposite direction but still in our view. Again our Castle is a structure to be seen and even though it is relatively small, it boasts a fantastic wall that can be walked around and offers amazing views of the city on a clear day.
Bailgate is one of our closest shopping areas; it is also referred to as the Cathedral quarter as it runs straight through the middle of the two grand buildings. From Bailgate you can enter the main town via Steep Hill. The area is actually called this and it is one of the steepest shopping streets in Britain. It's easy getting down but you need a good bout of energy to get back up!
With the rest of the town offering the usual high street emporiums, it's pleasant for a wander, but fortunately where we work, uphill, is the prettiest area of the town and worth a visit. If you would like to know more about Lincoln, visit Visit Lincoln to help plan your trip.
