The character of Boston
The Market Place beneath the Stump is the historic heart of the town, cobbled in parts and busy on market days, so cars generally wait on a side street off the square. Boston's wider street pattern is straightforward, laid out along the River Witham with few one-way complications, though the town's bridges can back up at peak times when the surrounding Fenland roads funnel traffic through a small number of crossings.
- The Market Place is busy and partly cobbled on market days; cars wait on a side street.
- The bridges over the River Witham are the town's main pinch point at both peaks.
- Long-distance and airport journeys need an honest, wider margin than for a nearby town.
- Fenland business pickups use the farm or processing site's own yard access.
