Spirit of Place

My spirit of place is the centre of interest in my home town. Lincoln Cathedral is not only the forefront of Lincoln’s history, but it is the foundation of the city’s historical beauty. The gothic beauty of this building is never-ending and you can find yourself looking at all the small details that play a part of the bigger thing, but all contribute to its beauty. The cathedral has power in its history,  it once held the title of tallest building in the world (for 300 years). I associate more with my identity and what this building shows; strength, celebration, beauty.  The trek up Steep Hill, however painful, is almost like a pilgrimage for city folk to come together; especially during the Christmas period, when there is a famous market that is held over three days; it’s a tradition and an opportunity to really appreciate our city and what we have within it. The city has kept its traditional feel and has a variety of independent shops and stands that all play a part in making our city what it is today.
