The Grade II Listed 12 & 13 Steep Hill which were built together around 1700, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
12 Steep Hill was built as a house, the downstairs is now used by Bonbon Bouche cake shop and above it a flat. In the 1901 census it was used by cabinet maker, J Everitt.
13 Steep Hill was also built as a house. In 1883 it was used by Williams toy dealer; 1893 G Scannall piano tuner; 1901 A E Syson, furniture dealer; 1975, A E Syson antique furniture shop; 1990s-2013 Readers Rest bookshop. The core of the house is possibly 13th-century.
Steep Hill consists of independent shops, tea rooms and pub and in 2011, Steep Hill was named "Britain's Best Place" by the Academy of Urbanism. The central (and steepest) part of the route is unsuited to any form of vehicle, and only passable on foot. A handrail is provided along this section.
Steep Hill along with Strait was created when the line of Ermine Street was diverted to the east in the 11th century. The route is part of the Roman route from the ford over the River Witham to the Forum in modern Bailgate, and thus the final part of Ermine Street. The name is an 18th century creation. Previously named after the poultry market, The Poultry (14th century), Polther Hill and the Pultry (16th century). John Speeds original 1607 survey plan names it Bore Hill.
