Cornhill Quarter, also known as Lincoln Cornhill is a historic[2] and cultural[3] area of the city of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It takes its name from the nearby former Cornhill building and square on Cornhill and High Street. A £70 million fund regenerated it [4] to enhance and modernize the area while maintaining the original buildings that exist.[5] This included the moving of the bus station[6] and work to demolish the former City Square shopping centre[7] which would be replaced by a hotel and residential flats.[8]
