More about this scene
There used to be a Saturday market here, but eventually the larger markets of Boston and Spalding took its trade. The A52 leads to Boston, and the A152 goes on to Spalding. Get A Head (a ladies' hairdresser) has taken over from Margaret Graves (left), and the chemist (centre left) is still there. Wilkinson's (centre right) is now Marshall's fruit and vegetable shop, and a Chinese takeaway has appeared. The Red Cow hotel/pub (the white building on the right) has been boarded up for ages, and it needs assistance desperately. At long last the Black Bull Inn (just visible on the extreme) right was being restored and refurbished when this research was being undertaken in 2003.
