In this Lincoln "then and now" I'm standing on the footbridge that goes over Broadgate.
Lincoln's iconic Cathedral dominates the skyline in both views.
On the left side of Broadgate several buildings are present in both views, they are St. Swithin's church completed in 1887. Next is the rather splendid castellated top of Lincoln Drill Hall built in 1890.
In the 1980's view on the far left is the Alstom Ruston gas turbines office block that was demolished.
On the far right side of Broadgate firstly we have Lincoln Telephone Exchange, this building looks like an office block, It provides telephone and broadband services to Lincoln, Boultham, Bracebridge Heath and Canwick.
The next building up Broadgate in the 1980s view was a pub called O'Rourke's (demolished June 2009) and before that The Wheatsheaf.
Behind this was a petrol station called Broadgate filling station this was also demolished and on the plot of land between Rumbold's Street and Unity Square is now "Premier Inn Lincoln City Centre" which was built in in 2012.
Do you have any memories of this area ?

"A truly unique way to see changes in time using two perfectly lined up images, one old & one new." Best viewed on a smart TV or large screen in full screen mode.
Past & Present - in fading Photographs.
High quality resolution fading photos showing local scenes as they were and how they are today from exactly the same view point. Then and now, Now and then, Past and Present, Old and New, Before and After. Call it what you want, just try one and see the effect!
The presentations you can see here are the result of many hours of work put in by myself ensuring that the old and new photographs line up precisely, I don't publish any if I'm not 100% happy with the match.
Best viewed on a large computer screen or smart TV as this is recorded in 4K resolution with great music so a real waste watching it on a small phone screen. Did you know you can cast it to your smart tv from the KZitem app?
