Louth
Louth is a market town and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of the English county of Lincolnshire. It is located at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, where they join the Lincolnshire Marsh. The town is on the eastern side of a gorge etched into the Wolds that makes up the Hubbard's Hills, which is an area that was formed 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 moves through the town. According to the 2001 Census, Louth has a permanent population of around 15930. Settlements are believed to have been on the area since the Paleolithic era, which is supported by such archaeological evidence as three handaxes found on the wolds dating from between 424000 and 191000 years ago. Historical discoveries have actually also featured arrowheads thought to have been made in the Bronze Age. Louth is acknowledged predominantly for its vast array of independent stores, with around 70 per cent of businesses in the town being independently owned in 2013. Several long-lasting businesses illustrate the established selling history of the town, for instance the outlet store 'Eve and Ranshaw', founded in 1781, 'Dales and Sons' poulterers, open ever since 1896, and the century old butchers 'Lakings of Louth'. It is also famous for its specialist grocers, local butchers and 'The Cheese Shop', which gained national acknowledgment in 'The Guardian'. This retailing image has been consolidated by being called as 'Britain's favourite market town' in 2012 by the BBC's 'Countryfile' tv programme.
