Steep Hill, Lincoln - a photo on Flickriver

Steep Hill links the modern shopping area of downtown Lincoln with the historic area at the top of the hill. Looking south from near Castle Hill it doesn't look all that steep but the gradient starts to increase as you go round the slight bend seen in the distance in this shot., OK when going down but you understand why it was so named when you are coming up. Many of the properties you pass on the upper section of Steep Hill are steeped in history, the premises occupied by the Wig & Mitre pub on the right (seen here) date back to the 14th century whilst just out of view round the bend is The Norman House (seen here), a rare example of Norman domestic architecture dating back to the end of the 12th century.
