Seasonal but an old chestnut. There’s plenty of roads in the City of London and since a boundary change in the mid 90s even one Road - Goswell Road makes a marginal intrusion at the road’s south-eastern edge. The big question is how many pubs are there in the City of London? | | | |

Lincoln Cathedral was the tallest for about 400 years until they dismantled a spire there and let someone else have a go.
An earlier cathedral at Lincoln was destroyed by an earthquake in 1188. |  | | |

Lincoln was indeed among the tallest buildings in the world in medieval times, albeit not for 400 years. After the earthquake in 1185, there was extensive re-building as little had survived except the west front, but it wasn't until 1310 that the Cathedral’s central tower was rebuilt which, with its additional spire, brought the height to around 525 feet (160 m). Unfortunately, a storm destroyed this spire in the 1540s and was never replaced. | | | |

Strange as there was a historian on BBC Radio mentioning the Eiffel Tower just a few weeks ago.
Only a few hundred years out so we are still looking at around 4000 years which I find amazing given the rate of change that we are used to. | | | |
