Travel back to early 20th century Foss Bank and discover a lost Lincoln Street

The Fossdyke, connects the River Trent at Torksey to Lincoln, and may be the oldest canal in England that is still in use. It is usually thought to have been built around AD 120 by the Romans, but there is no consensus among historians. It was refurbished in 1121, during the reign of King Henry I, and responsibility for its maintenance was transferred to the city of Lincoln by King James I. Improvements made in 1671 included a navigable sluice or lock at Torksey, and warehousing and wharves were built at Brayford Pool in the centre of Lincoln.
The view here is looking across the Fossdyke from the south to north bank. The houses opposite are on Foss Bank, and I believe they were built in the late 19th century? This area is just to the west of the city centre.
The fantastic old photo is from Marion Clawson Staines, and on the left shows the end of Staunton Street, complete with corner shop. There has been some debate about the exact age of the old photo, but it is definitely early 20th century.
I'm not sure exactly when, but Stanton Street was largely demolished in the mid 20th century (1970s?) to make way for new housing. Staunton Court currently covers a similar area today.
The other big change over the years is the man made embankment on the side of the canal, created to minimise the risk from the regular flooding that affects this part of Lincoln. The old houses that remain haven't changed much, and I've found that you largely have to ignore apparent changes to roof lines and chimneys when trying to match old and new photos. Another thing that appears to have remained is the large tree.
I've included a map from c1905 at the end of the video to show the original road layout in the area for those not familiar with it...

I have a 1932 map of lincoln which I keep promising to frame and hang on my wall. Also a drawing of stampend viewed from the north showing a cut just above the lock which goes into what is now the council yard. If you look at the river bank it is possible to see where the stonework changes after this was blocked up

I've always been fascinated by old maps, and can sit read them like most people read books :)
