About Boston - Boston is situated near the south-east coast of Lincolnshire, where the River Witham becomes the Haven on its short journey to The Wash. It is an historic and attractive market town which is dominated by the 14th-century St.Botolph's Church whose 271ft high tower is a landmark for miles around.
Shopping - The town market is held on Saturdays and Wednesdays, in the Market Place and also on Wide Bargate on Wednesday. Market Place and Strait Bargate are the retail hub of the town centre. A new shopping park opened in January 2007 on Horncastle Road. This new development has brought several large companies to the town for the first time.

Things to do and Tourst Information - A visit to the seven-storeyed Maud Foster Tower Windmill is a must. Completed in 1819, it was the tallest operating windmill in England (80ft/24.4 metres to the top of the cap), following extensive restoration during the 1980s and early 1990s it is now a working museum. The tall mill, without the usual tar coating in Lincs, stands on the dyke above the drain it is named after and is unusual in having an odd number (five) of sails.
