We do seem to concentrate on the Stump, Fydell House, Guildhall etc. etc. and forget that all these lesser buildings have their history too, that is what I try to put across on my blog and believe that Joe Bloggs who was a labourer and the house he lived in are just as important, if not more so, to Boston as the Mayors, magistrates, bankers etc. and their fine houses.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179940192272909456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384455950552693669.post-17670284238106858252011-03-07T14:07:52.165+00:002011-03-07T14:07:52.165+00:00There is an equally old building the other side of...There is an equally old building the other side of the Sluice Bridge and river at the end of Haven Bank. This was built for goods coming in up the Haven and later used by the early Railway Company I think...it's been semi derelict and used for storgae (access via Irby Street just under the low railway btidge) for some years. It should be restored (and the awful 60s house next door demolished !!) as part of Bostons Industrial Heritage...fat chance tho'..as with so much else of Bostons history that's not 'the Stump' or Fydell House related !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
