The houses in the background are standing where the Stamford Gasholders once were. Although the gas works was taken over by British Gas after the second world war, they merely abandoned the site and the cost of decontamination fell not on them nor on the property developers who bought the land after a 20 year hiatus, but upon the local authority. To this day I have no idea why.

Former Goods Shed, Stamford East
Believe it or not, this building was listed for its architectural importance as a former goods shed of the Stamford and Essendine railway. It has been crassly converted into flats, surrounded by bogus waterside warehouses, and bears a brass plaque commemorating the conversion without mentioning the railway connection!

Stamford is a market town on the southern border of Lincolnshire, located at the lowest point that the River Welland could be forded. It is some 11 miles northwest of Peterborough and about 27 miles east of Leicester, and is set on Roman Ermine Street and the Great North Road. The picturesque town is constructed almost entirely of limestone, much of the town centre was built in the 17th and 18th centuries in Jacobean or Georgian style. Tourism is an important element of Stamford’s economy.
