Lincoln

Lincoln is a historic cathedral city and the county town of Lincolnshire. Appropriately for its Roman origins, it is the meeting point of Ermine Street and the Fosse Way.

For road enthusiasts, one unusual feature of Lincoln is the prominent ban on flammable liquids being carried at various points around the city. This was introduced following a collision involving a petrol tanker overturning on Lyndham Hill in 1969.
