Louth
Louth is a market town and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of the English county of Lincolnshire. It is positioned at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, where they link the Lincolnshire Marsh. The town is on the eastern side of a canyon carved 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 gorge before it continues to flow through the town. Marked with a plaque on the north side of the street on which it passes, the Greenwich Meridian passes through the town. According to the 2001 Census, Louth has a permanent population of around 15930. Settlements are thought to have been on the area since the Paleolithic era, which is supported by such historical evidence as three handaxes discovered on the wolds dating from between 424000 and 191000 years ago. Archaeological discoveries have also included arrowheads believed to have actually been made in the Bronze Age. Louth is recognised especially for its large array of independent sellers, with around 70 per cent of businesses in the town being independently owned in 2013. Several lasting businesses exhibit the established retailing history of the town, namely the outlet store 'Eve and Ranshaw', founded in 1781, 'Dales and Sons' poulterers, open since 1896, and the century old butchers 'Lakings of Louth'. It is also famous for its specialist grocers, regional butchers and 'The Cheese Shop', which received national acknowledgment in 'The Guardian'. This retailing reputation has actually been consolidated by being identified as 'Britain's favourite market town' in 2012 by the BBC's 'Countryfile' tv programme.
