Take three trips back to 1986 to see dredging work in the centre of Lincoln at Brayford Head

#lincoln #history #thenandnow #memories #nostalgia #river A few days ago John Edwards posted six wonderful photos on local Facebook history groups. He took them in 1986 on dismal wet rainy day as they were dredging Brayford Pool and the River Witham through High Bridge in the centre of Lincoln. It took a while to get new photos to match all six, but I managed eventually and created six time shifts of them. Rather than post them individually over six days I've decided to put them together as two triple time shifts, and here is the first one at the Brayford Head area. It looks like they used temporary lock gates to reduce the water level in the river downstream of Brayford Head. In the third old photo you can see Hercock's banana warehouse, that I believe was the last of the old warehouses to be demolished from around the Brayford?
