Witham is an electoral ward in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, situated close to the city centre and straddling parts of the River Witham. The area is a mix of Victorian terraces, post‑war council housing and newer riverside apartments, with local shops, pubs and small industrial units; its nearness to the railway station and the University of Lincoln makes it a practical spot for commuters and students alike.
Historically the neighbourhood expanded with Victorian industry and the arrival of the railways, and in recent years there have been modest regeneration and community projects to improve housing, green space and riverside access. Residents benefit from easy walks into the city's historic heart, including Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle, giving a blend of everyday urban life and close‑by heritage.
