Newport, a street which dates from the post Roman period, around 500 AD, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
It followed the Roman road of Ermine Street and since 1100 has been surrounded by the early creation of the Newport suburb.
St Johns Church was erected on the line of the road in the early 12th century. The public Granthams Well was located at the north end of the road.
Newport Green was the name for the large open space, mostly on the west side and partly on the left side. Between the 14th-16th Centuries it was the home to the annual Newport Fair and frequent markets were held.
With the decline of the cloth trade, the market, church, and suburb declined in importance, and gradual encroachment of buildings on to the Green has removed most traces of the plot.
It was listed as Herman Street, Barton Street and Town Street on various in the 19th century maps. The corner with Church Lane was widened between 1881-2.
