A picture of Lincoln

In the east end of Lincoln is a Victorian Arboretum and public gardens. Over the years the whole area had become rather run down through lack of maintenance but has now been extensively renovated at a cost of over £3M. This shot shows the ornamental pond and fountain. The fountain columns have an history of their own. Lincoln was hit by a major typhoid epidemic between November 1904 and August 1905, caused by polluted drinking water which resulted in 113 deaths. A new water supply was eventually found at Elksley in Nottinghamshire and the colums are part of the core bored out when the new wells were sunk.
