Selling an original artwork in Lincoln
Lincoln has a cathedral that was for centuries the tallest building in the world, a castle holding an original Magna Carta and a street up to them so steep it is simply called Steep Hill. It has a university in the centre and a long engineering history.
The city is divided into uphill and downhill and the climb between them is severe, so agree which and establish the approach before committing to anything heavy. The station is downhill and central.
Establish whether the item is uphill or downhill and how it will be moved. The hill here is severe enough that it genuinely changes what a collection involves, and it catches people out.
Lincoln, in England, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Lincoln
