During the Industrial Revolution Lincoln was an important centre and the Brayford Pool had many warehouses. It was a meeting point between the water and the steam trains.

Of course the Mary Gordon, a product of this age, (the oldest electric river boat) had an important part to play on the canal and you'll get to see her a little later.

Looking back on Brayford Wharf

Just before leaving the area look back and you'll get the feeling of what it must have been like only a 100 years ago.

A busy inland port area it could fit many barges in the Brayford Pool.

As mentioned before, this area has recently had an extensive regeneration project, but no more that 15 to 20 years ago you could still see many of the warehouses that surrounded the water.

Continue along the walkway for 200 - 300 yards. It opens up into Far Wharf . Head along Foss Bank with the water still on your left, and houses on your left...
