"Best Place in Britain" — Lincoln's Steep Hill street

Dear DMC
 
This is a story that positively oozes dullness.  I grew up in Lincolnshire, which may well be the dullest county in England.

Steep Hill is actually less dull than most of it, as it is (a) a hill and (b) in a city.  Lincolnshire is otherwise very flat and contains few large towns.

I suspect Steep Hill qualified for the Best Place award (a sort of geographical Oscar) mainly for the aptness of its name.  If there was a long road called Long Road it might have been a close call.
