Louth, a Lincolnshire town, is famous for St James church, with its towering spire. Lately it's also become known for an astronaut, Michael Foale, who was born in Louth. The place has a somewhat twee image, but there's more to the town than quaint markets and old-fashioned architecture.

Louth is not as timewarped as the tourist board would have us imagine. A fair amount of construction work and regeneration is going on.

In places Louth is an extremely modern town. However, there are many people who work hard to preserve the town's unique character and its amenities, such as Hubbard's Hills.

Landmarks in Louth

For years, the skyline in Louth was dominated by the spire of St. James, and the enormous ABM building, also known as the Malt Kiln. Work started on demolishing the Malt Kiln in January of 2004 in order to make way for some flats. St James, however, has stood for almost half a millennium and is unlikely to be coming down any time soon.
