The Brayford Pool is the heart of the City of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. It was a Roman port connecting the city to the sea during the reign of Emperor Nero. The north bank was regenerated in the latter twentieth century into a vibrant social hub. In the twenty-first century, the south bank became home to the thriving University of Lincoln. It represents the past, present and future of Lincoln as well as the ever-changing flow of ideas.  

With an ever-increasing spotlight on Lincoln, our city has fast become a cultural hub with strong links to its heritage - as the birthplace of mathematician George Boole, the tank, and one of the largest aeroplane producers during the First World War; we have a history steeped in innovation which continues to this day through world-class education, engineering, creative industry, tech and digital industry and much more.
