Mint Street, Lincoln
Image: © Oliver Mills Taken: 5 May 2021
Two buildings which present a quality of brickwork scarcely seen today. The church is Mint Street Baptist Church (evidently now an estate agent), and in the foreground is a mid-Victorian house for a neighbouring shop owner. The well-proportioned arched lintels and Flemish bond bricks make it a pleasing feature on Mint Street. This house has since been acquired as part of the House of Fraser complex, seemingly demoted to a miserable storeroom... and it is now to be entirely demolished (along with the entire North aspect of Mint Street, east of Mint Lane) in place of a hotel!
