City of Lincoln Council writes:<\/p>\n

As part of the High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) scheme, which saw the city council receive a successful bid for funding of \u00a31.68 million in April 2020, the city council has created a programme of historic building restorations designed to revitalise the area and uncover its rich history.<\/p>\n

Included in this is plans to revitalise Lincoln\u2019s historic shopfronts to bring them back to their former glory.<\/p>\n

The latest shopfronts to be restored, following the completion of shopfronts at 8-10 St Mary\u2019s Street, are owned by Lincolnshire Co-op.<\/p>\n

The restored Sincil Street properties, which are a row of a rare survival in Lincoln of \u2018back to back\u2019 houses, were unveiled during a celebration event on 19 October at 38-44 Sincil Street.<\/p>\n

Ursula Lidbetter, CEO of Lincolnshire Co-op said: \u201cWe committed at the start of The Cornhill Quarter development to retain or reinstate as many historic features as possible, to give the buildings a new lease of life and retain the historic character of the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving invested just under \u00a31 million in 38-44 Sincil Street, we are delighted with the results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to Historic England for contributing additional funds for the shopfronts and to the city council conservation team for their expert advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to welcoming new tenants who want to trade from these units and make the most of their authentic charm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Property improvements on Sincil Street included repairs, reinstating lost features, and making buildings suitable for new use.<\/p>\n

Cllr Neil Murray, Portfolio Holder for Economic Growth and Historic Environment Advocate at City of Lincoln Council said: \u201cThere are many unique heritage aspects and locations within Lincoln that need to be preserved so that Lincoln\u2019s special character is maintained, and that includes its shopfronts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy to see this prominent row of shopfronts on Sincil Street restored to their former glory.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy restoring, revitalising and refurbishing these historic shopfronts, it not only helps us to protect heritage in our city, but also aids us in continuing to make Lincoln a great place for both residents and visitors to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Walsh, Principal Advisor at Historic England added: \u201cThe Cornhill Quarter is an outstanding example of heritage-led regeneration which is becoming known nationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that the repairs and reinstatement of shopfronts at 38-44 Sincil Street have been completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shops look great and it is a testament to the skills and expertise of all involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
