Take three trips back in time at "Boots Corner" on Lincoln High Street.

According to the book 'Shops and Shopping in Lincoln: A History' published by The Survey of Lincoln in 2018, Boots moved from there in 1973. Interestingly, it mentions that when the building was constructed in the 1920s it was agreed with the council that it be set further back than the old building to enable wider pavements, also that the corner would be at an angle instead of square on so that people could more easily negotiate the corner.

Fond memories of signing on the rock n roll in the 90s.

Late 70s and early 80s for me :)

@@lightanddreamsphotography7140 Mid to late 90s for me, a few times. Barely worth the hassle to be fair as I was soon in work again.

I remember the revolving door, the lift operator who always seemed to have a fag going, there was a big ashtray for customers in the corner of the lift, and I also remember the lending library where my Mother would get her books. (she probably also used the ashtray). I'm also trying to remember whether there was a restaurant on the top floor but we never used it if there was. Perhaps someone else will remember.
