Wikipedia has a page about Brayford Pool
The Brayford Pool is a natural lake 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.
Today, the waterfront surrounding the pool is home to a range of hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and a modern University (University of Lincoln). There is also a year-long programme of events on the waterfront including vehicle displays, music evenings and carnival parades.

![Lincoln: Brayford Pool and view up to the cathedral. On the far side of Brayford Pool can be seen one of the distinctive hyperbolic parabloid concrete roofs that were a specialism of Lincoln architect Sam Scorer (1923-2003). Scorer designed this building in 1958 for the Lincoln Motor Company; it later became the headquarters of the Lincolnshire Library Service, and is now a restaurant. Other notable buildings by Scorer include the former petrol station at Markham Moor services on the A1 ([[3110473]]), and the church of St John the Baptist in the Lincoln suburb of Ermine ([[4802584]]).
