Louth
Louth is a market town and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of the English county of Lincolnshire. It is situated at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, where they join the Lincolnshire Marsh. The town is on the eastern edge of a canyon etched into the Wolds that makes up the Hubbard's Hills, which is an area that was created from a glacial overspill in the last glacial period. The River Lud flows through this canyon before it continues to run through the town. Marked with a plaque on the north side of the street on which it passes, the Greenwich Meridian goes through the town. In accordance with the 2001 Census, Louth has a permanent population of around 15930. Settlements are understood to have been on the area since the Paleolithic era, which is supported by such historical confirmation as 3 handaxes found on the wolds dating from between 424000 and 191000 years ago. Archaeological discoveries have also featured arrowheads thought to have actually been made in the Bronze Age. Louth is identified predominantly for its large choice of independent merchants, with around 70 per cent of businesses in the town being independently owned in 2013. Numerous lasting businesses demonstrate the established selling history of the town, namely the outlet store 'Eve and Ranshaw', started in 1781, 'Dales and Sons' poulterers, open since 1896, and the century old butchers 'Lakings of Louth'. It is also widely known for its specialist grocers, local butchers and 'The Cheese Shop', which gained national recognition in 'The Guardian'. This retailing image has been consolidated by being named as 'Britain's favourite market town' in 2012 by the BBC's 'Countryfile' tv programme.
