Newland[2] is an inner-city suburb[3] and historic district[4] of Lincoln in the county of Lincolnshire, England. It is located to the west of the city centre and faces Brayford Pool.[5] The street and area around it possibly existed as far back as possibly roman times as there archaeologists found around 23 skeletons on the site of the former Viking House site in 2015. An additional 3 skeletons were found three years later in 2018. These were found during construction of student flats on the site.[6][7] Newland was once home to the Lincoln Port on the River Witham.[8] Newland was home to the Palace Theatre, this was since demolished in the 1940s and replaced by New Theatre Royal Lincoln.[9][10]
