About

Ermine is a residential area in the north of Lincoln, built mainly as a post‑war council estate and later supplemented by private housing. The name links to the course of Ermine Street, the Roman road that runs through the city and influenced local street patterns. The estate contains a mix of terraced and semi‑detached houses, arranged around a series of residential crescents and short through‑roads. Locals commonly refer to different parts of the estate by sector names used in council planning and community maps.

Community facilities include a small shopping parade and a community centre that host day‑to‑day services and occasional events. There are primary schools, play areas and sports pitches within walking distance for most residents, and regular bus services connect the area with Lincoln city centre and nearby employment zones. Housing renewal and local projects have altered parts of the estate over recent decades, while community groups continue to run projects focused on youth activities, allotments and neighbour support.
