Brayford Architecture Trail

A complete circuit of Lincoln’s Brayford Pool to see how architecture shows the change of use of the past centuries.

The geographic features of the Brayford Pool are referred to as a confluence - a junction where two rivers, in this case, the Fossdyke Canal and the River Witham, merge together. This acts as a metaphor for the varied histories and usage of the architecture that now share the waterfront space.

Many different narratives are apparent in this area of the city and this trail presents this dynamic situation with 12 buildings that reference the medieval, Victorian, industrial, modern and postmodern periods of architectural history, displaying the Brayford as an important centre of Lincoln that is in constant flux.

Thanks to students from the University of Lincoln School of Architecture for the creation of this trail.
