Brayford Pool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brayford Pool is a natural pool formed from a widening of the River Witham in the centre of the city of Lincoln in England. It was used as a port by the Romans – who connected it to the River Trent by constructing the Foss Dyke – and has a long industrial heritage.[1]

Today, the waterfront surrounding the pool is home to a range of hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and a modern University (the University of Lincoln).[2] There is also a year-long programme of events on the waterfront including vehicle displays, music evenings and carnival parades.[3]
