Brayford Wharf in Lincoln has been a hub of growth and activity for hundreds of years, and this year’s no exception.
With a number of large-scale developments rising up around the pool, the ever-evolving landscape is beginning to give a taste of what’s to come.
Works include the University of Lincoln’s Sarah Swift Building, the new One the Brayford development and Cygnet Wharf (formerly Marina Court) which will become student flats.
Take a look at the developments so far:

The Sarah Swift Building is a £19 million University of Lincoln development on the site of the city’s former Pea Warehouse.
The new facility will house the Schools of Health and Social Care and Psychology, as well as a Professional Development Centre with ongoing training for medical professionals in the county.

Work is currently underway on the new £20 million development on Lincoln’s waterfront, which has been named One the Brayford.
The development is the first of its kind in nearly nine years in the city and will consist of 69 luxury private apartments and three new restaurants in the former Mouchel and Viking House, which previously housed Job Centre Plus.

The new buildings will also incorporate office space for the Brayford Trust.

It is expected that works on the buildings will be complete by September 2017.
Unsuccessful plans
In contrast, plans for a second floating restaurant were unanimously rejected in September.
Proposals would have seen the £1 million restaurant built on stilts – similar to the city’s Wagamama. It would have also created around 30 jobs.

Councillors at the meeting on Wednesday, September 14 stated the design would not be in-keeping with the area and that views would be harmed.

Seeing family, being cosy by the fire, and fun in the snow, contrasted with dark mornings and cold weather, are among the most loved — and hated — things about winter for people in Lincoln.
New research shows that 81% of people admitted they hate the winter season. According to a poll of 2,000 by the Post Office, dark mornings (49%), slipping on ice (44%), and having a cold face (41%), runny nose (38%), and paying the heating bills (34%) are considered the worst things about winter.
