Bracebridge Low Fields is a suburb[1] [2] to the south of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England. It is located directly to the south of the city, close to the boundary with North Kesteven and the village of Waddington. The suburb is also located northeast of North Hykeham, south of Bracebridge, and west of Bracebridge Heath. The suburb was likely built at some point in time around the 19th-20th century and primarily built for the workers at the former Bracebridge Ironworks.[3] The suburb now forms one of Lincoln's largest estates and suburbs.[4]
The suburb is mostly a residential area for Lincoln, North Hykeham, Waddington and other locations. The village has a shopping precinct, Brant Road Shopping Centre.[5] [6] [7] Additionally, there are two schools in the suburb. The Acorns Free School and Meadows Primary School.[8] There are also two churches, the main one being St, Columba's Church[9] near the Brant Road Shopping Centre and All Saints Church in nearby Bracebridge.
The area is well served by two bus services into Lincoln City Centre. The Number 13 connects the area with both Lincoln and Waddington via Brant Road and operates seven days a week.[10] Additionally, there is also a bus to Bassingham and North Hykeham.[11]
