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 canyon sculpted 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 gorge 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 passes through the town. According to 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 evidence as three handaxes identified on the wolds dating from between 424000 and 191000 years ago. Historical discoveries have actually also included arrowheads thought to have been made in the Bronze Age. Louth is identified in particular for its wide range of independent shops, with around 70 per cent of businesses in the town being independently owned in 2013. Various long-lasting businesses illustrate the established trading history of the town, especially 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 popular for its specialist grocers, regional butchers and 'The Cheese Shop', which acquired 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.
