I like the way the memorials are set alongside the path, lest they ever be forgotten.

Boston: translation centre, Wide Bargate
Specialising in translation to/from Eastern European languages, an indication of the greater movement of populations between this country and Eastern Europe since the end of the Cold War (and particularly of the great movement of Eastern Europeans in search of work to the agricultural industries of the Fenlands).

Wide Bargate, Boston, Lincs
Looking back towards St Botolph's Church and past the PAB Translation Centre the Grade II-listed General Post Office building, built in 1935, can be seen. It is in Queen Anne style with a corner entrance and a tower capped with domed roof in copper. A municipal park - Central Park - can be accessed via Park Gate, a cul-de-sac between the Post Office and Prezzo's restaurant.

Wide Bargate, Boston, Lincs
Wide Bargate is seen here leading towards the large roundabout that deals with the intersections of the A1137 (Horncastle Road) and the A16 (Spilsby Road). Cammack`s moved to this building in 1932 and it was undoubtedly seen as one of Boston's finest shop buildings. It was an early example of a steel-girdered building and it had the first lift in a local shop. It was probably, also, the first shop in Boston to have oil-fired central heating. Built at the height of the 1930s financial crisis, a decision that was seen by many as being a very risky one indeed, it appears that this bold decision paid off extremely well, because this furniture business appears to still be doing satisfactorily more than 80 years further down the line.
