One of Lincoln's most important historic landmarks - The Glory Hole - located adjacent the River Witham between High Street and the Brayford and overlooking High Bridge - is up for sale.

The Grade Two listed converted riverside warehouse on North Witham Bank is a well known local landmark and has been put on the market together with the adjacent Stonebow House, by chartered surveyors, Hodgson Elkington for £125,000.

"The Glory Hole currently offers offices of great character but, subject to planning permission, could be a very interesting residential conversion opportunity. It is likely to appeal to investors and developers who appreciate the property's unique character and location. We have already
received several serious enquiries," said Daniel Race, partner at Hodgson Elkington.

The building was acquired by Lincoln solicitor Gilbert Blades in the 1970's and he ran his own practice there until the recent merger with Epton & Co and Wilkin Chapman, which created Wilkin Chapman Epton Blades.

"The Glory Hole has great historical interest and occupies a wonderful position in the centre of the city, next to the river and away from traffic. We were sorry to leave there but the expansion of the business on
our merger with Epton and Co meant that we needed larger premises, hence our choice to locate Wilkin Chapman Epton Blades at the Bank Street offices," said Roger McCracken, managing partner at Wilkin Chapman Epton Blades.
