A Little Shop With A Long History

To coincide with the 2nd Lincoln Festival of History, which took place over the early May Bank Holiday weekend and the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, we took a trip back through time to discover the history of 83 Bailgate, before it became the heart that is now Follie.

We’ve trawled through Kelly’s Directories, researched historical Ordinance Survey maps, pestered librarians and consulted local history buffs to go back over 180 years of the business’s who traded from made this medieval site before we did.

I remember the 3 of the business that preceded mine, but every era has left their mark and Follie is proud to continue 83 Bailgate’s story as part of Lincoln’s rich & diverse history.
