During our research we discovered a clear link between our two areas; Lucy Tower.

Lucy Tower Car Park - Downhill
According to the Royal Archaeological Institute, ‘the name Lucy Tower was formerly attached to the keep of Lincoln Castle… It has been transferred to a small round tower which formed the termination of the city wall at the south-west angle, next to Brayford-water’ (1850, p.288). It is also said that, at this Lucy Tower, there was subterraneous passage through which ‘a communication is traditionally said to have been formed with the castle’ (Allen, 1834, p.198).
Our research provided us with a clear link between the two sites, so, as long as our performances relate to Lucy Tower, they will be site specific.
