Market Place, Boston, Lincolnshire, PE21 6NF

Location...
The bustling market town of Boston boasts one of the fastest expanding populations in the East Midlands with a population changing from around 55,000 in 2001 to around 72,000 residents or more today.
 
The town has a thriving economy relating to the surrounding rich fertile agricultural land, the port, a large 391 bed hospital and various local government administrations.
 
The historic market place dates back to the construction of Boston Stump which is approximately 714 years old and has a twice weekly market granted by a charter in 1555 by King Henry VIII.
 
The town enjoys historic links with Eastern Europe through the Hanseatic League and is currently experiencing another period of rapid growth with the construction of over 1,000 houses and a number of large infrastructure projects including; construction of 2 power stations, provision of 3 underground cables connecting offshore wind farms to The Grid, the nearby 1,500 acre Helpringham Reservoir as well as other associated schemes.
 
The property is located on the south side of the marketplace within a Grade II Listed terrace of shops, believed to be one of the first retail terraces constructed in the town.
