Things I associate with the county on the south eastern boundary of Yorkshire:
Lincoln green – traditionally worn by Robin Hood and his ‘Merry Men’
Lincolnshire sausages
The Lincolnshire Poacher – a song
Fresh fish delivered from Grimsby Docks
The Pilgrim Fathers who set sail for the new world from Boston
John Wesley, the founder of methodism, who lived in Epworth
Isaac Newton and Margaret Thatcher, who both lived in the county
The steelworks at Scunthorpe
Burghley House Horse Trials [it might just be over the boundary in Cambridgeshire – I’m not sure]
The Lincoln Handicap – a horse race run here in Doncaster [the race course at Lincoln closed down many years ago]
Cleethorpes – family days out when I was a child
The Greenwich/Prime Meridian, which passes through the middle of Louth and just to the south of Cleethorpes
Lincoln Edge
Lincolnshire Wolds
Lincoln Cathedral
The Magna Carta – a copy is held in the cathedral
Fish fingers – first produced at Grimsby
