Lincolnshire Co-op hopes to revitalise these buildings on Sincil Street.
The final phase of plans to revitalise the Cornhill area in Lincoln is in sight, as Lincolnshire Co-op looks to regenerate a series of 19th century shops on Sincil Street.
An application to the City of Lincoln Council describes plans to restore and improve the six terraced units from number 38-44, including the demolition of “modern extensions” in order to replace them with new and improved toilet and bin storage facilities.
Documents before the authority say all but one of the units is currently vacant, with just The Sign Of The Fish planned to be operating while the works take place.
The applicants said: “These amendments are also part of a wider scope to generally enhance the rear courtyards; providing access to the service yard for the retailers, while improving the external dining experience for customers.”
The shops will all have permission to be used for retail, food and drink, takeaway or banking and financial services.
The works will see the shop fronts replaced and repaired along with, potentially, the dormers to the roof.
Any replacements, said the Co-op’s planning statement, would be “designed to match the original historic aesthetic”.
Existing windows also be put back to their original historic profiling, with arches restored where possible.
The masterplan for the Cornhill Quarter.
Meanwhile the roofs will be stripped back and have new linings and insulations. The Co-op hopes to remove, clean and reinstall existing tiles, but said any replacements will be installed to the rear in an attempt to keep the street’s historic character.
Internally, the shops will be stripped back, with any fixtures, fittings and furniture of historical interest kept and repaired where possible.
The multi-million pound Cornhill Quarter redevelopment, once completed, aims to give Sincil Street a “new lease of life” and make it “once again one of the busiest and liveliest streets in the city centre.”

The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.
Police were called to the house at 10pm on Friday night, January 22.
The 11-year-old boy was found unwell at the scene and was taken to hospital for treatment.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
At the time Lincolnshire Police said the death was unexplained and it was treated as murder.
The man and the woman arrested at the weekend were released on police bail on Monday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:
“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
“Speculative comments are not only deeply upsetting to those involved but can potentially undermine our investigation.
“If you have any information that can help, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident 472 of January 22.”
Ten people from Boston have been given fines for breaching COVID-19 regulations by driving dangerously in supermarket car parks.
Officers were called after three separate reports of dangerous driving in the car parks of Lidl and Tesco in Wyberton Fen, as well as on Marsh Lane Industrial Estate in Boston.
All three incidents took place and were reported to police between 5pm and 6pm on Sunday, January 24, though it is unsure if they were connected at all.
When officers arrived, the drivers were seen doing donut manoeuvres and racing in the snow.
A total of 10 people were given £200 fines for breaking lockdown guidelines, but this will be reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days, due to all being first time offenders.
As well as the COVID-19 fines, two of the vehicles were also seized as a result of being uninsured, with drivers reported.
A traffic offence report was also submitted after one driver was seen to be driving not just dangerously but out of control.
Inspector Fran Harrod of Lincolnshire Police said: “We would like to thank the public for bringing these incidents of dangerous driving to our attention.
“This is not only extremely dangerous to those taking part but to others in these areas.
“While we continue to engage and explain with the public, this was a blatant breach of the restrictions which will not be tolerated.”
