Lincoln’s Steep Hill wins best UK street award

Steep Hill in Lincoln has been named the best street in Britain by the Academy of Urbanism.

The street has won the title of 2012 Great Street at Friday afternoon’s Urbanism Awards, which recognises the best, most enduring or most improved urban environments.

The event is run by The Academy of Urbanism, whose members include industry-leading architects, planners, engineers, developers and designers.

During a visit to Lincoln, assessors from the Academy of Urbanism took on the challenge of climbing Steep Hill, which has a one in seven gradient.

Hosts from the City of Lincoln Council and Lincoln BIG took the assessors on a tour of the street, which forms part of the Roman route from the River Witham to Bailgate and is home to two Norman houses – the Jew’s House and Norman House.

Dating to Roman times as a connection between the Castle and town, Steep Hill is a narrow street characterised by its impressive gradient.

The street plays host to a variety of independent and entrepreneurial retail outlets, combined with events and entertainment pubs to make this a welcoming and important destination regionally.

(continued, I'll post a few pics later....)

Looks like a decent pub crawl if you start at the top and stagger down
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Code: Select all

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis 
   $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);
