            The Lincoln Flume 2015 travelling down Flaxengate, Lincoln, Lincolnshire. 

The event was organised by The Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia, based on a project by artist Luke Jerram called Urban Slide. This was first seen in an urban setting in Bristol as part of their Park and Slide event which proved a very successful public participation event. All proceeds raised were donated to local charities.

Flaxengate is a street dating from 870. In 1215 it was called Haraldestigh; 1661 Flaxgate; 1831 Flaxen Gate. The part south of Clasketgate was called Chequer Lane in 1826. It was found in excavations to have been resurfaced several times up until 1050. Its importance was overshadowed in the mid/late 11th century by that of Grantham Street, and it fell into disrepair. 

No structural evidence for the late Saxon period was found on the frontage during excavations at The Collection, but there was antler working. A further resurfacing took place around 1300. The name Flaxengate was revived in 1830 by the Lighting and Paving Commissioners. The section north of Grantham Street was realigned to the east in 1969/70, with the earlier western extent at the eastern end of the 1972 excavations. The section between Grantham Street and Clasketgate was widened on the west side in 1982, with the demolition of 31 Clasketgate.
