Travel through time to see the evolution of the long gone spires on Lincoln Cathedral

Описание: #lincoln #history #memories #nostalgia #thenandnow

I've done so many time shift videos of Lincoln Cathedral that I've literally lost count. Hopefully you'll remember that it used to have spires on each of the towers, and for a while this made it the tallest building in the world. I've done some time shifts using old paintings or drawings that showed the smaller western towers, and I recently used AI to show how it looked just after it was built. But I thought it was time to make one showing how all the spires evolved.

Ideally I'd have liked to use old paintings or drawings to show this, and one day may well do that, but for now I've used an existing time shift from the Stamp End area, and added the spires in photoshop. I've also added a photo of the wonderful Cathedral model with all three spires, and an old drawing showing just the two western ones.

A simplified timeline for the Cathedral;
1072 work started
1124 roof destroyed by fire
1124-48 rebuilt and expanded
1185 mostly destroyed by earthquake
1192-1420 rebuilt with spires on all three towers
1548 central spire blew down in a storm
1807 western spires dismantled for safety reasons.
