dolphin inn, lincoln cathdral, alfred shuttleworth.
The Dolphins Inn, over 400 years old,  was one of a row of buildings blocking the north east view of the Cathedral.  Alfred Shuttleworth bought the inn and the other buildings from the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln Cathedral and had them demolished to open up his view of the Cathedral from his home at Eastgate House.

Alfred also had the building on the left hand corner renovated in a half-timbered design.  It was known as the Rest and people climbing the hill were able to rest there before continuing their journey.
