More information about Louth
Introduction
Louth is a small market town located in the East Lindsey district of the East Midlands region of Great Britain. With a population of over 22,850 people and an area of 7,323 hectares, it is the largest market town in Lincolnshire. It was the result of an Anglo-Saxon expansion along the River Lud in the 7th century and was a strategic centre in the middle ages due to its relative centrality in the region. It is a popular tourist destination due to its charming cobbled streets and wide range of markets and shops.
Louth has long been connected to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. In the late 19th century, it was known as the hub of Britain's car industry, with many of the car factories located there. It also has a long history of involvement in the finance industry, with a number of banks and insurance companies having their headquarters located in the town. Finally, in recent years, the town has become increasingly associated with motorsport, with a number of motorsport teams, event organisers and tracks based in the vicinity of Louth.
Car Industry in Louth
The car industry in Louth began in the late 19th century, when the Louth Car Company was founded in 1896 as an offshoot of the Louth Coachworks. It initially produced cars powered by steam and electricity, but in 1907 it began to produce gasoline automobiles. This marked the start of the boom in car manufacturing in the town, with other factories such as the Armstrong Siddeley and the Dennis Brothers starting up in the area.
In addition to the factories, Louth was also home to a number of car dealerships, selling cars from many of the major manufacturers including Ford, Morris, Austin, Vauxhall, Rover and Rover-Hillman. In the 1950s and 1960s, with the growth of the British motor industry, the town gained a reputation as the centre of the British motoring industry.
However, the industry declined from the 1970s onwards due to increasing competition from other countries and the effect of the oil crisis. The Armstrong Siddeley factory was closed in 1964 and the Dennis Brothers in 1968. Today, the only surviving car manufacturer in the town is the Louth Car Company, which is based in the original factory and has been under the same ownership since 1907.
Finance Industry in Louth
The finance industry in Louth dates back to the 19th century, when the first banks opened in the town.

Other prominent banks included the Masonic Bank and the Midland Bank, both of which opened their Louth branches in the 1920s.
The banks were followed by a number of insurance companies, including the Phoenix Assurance Company, which opened its Louth branch in 1927. Today, there are a number of banks and insurance companies based in Louth, with the main ones being HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, AXA and Aviva.
