PHOTOGRAPH OF THE MONTH

February 2025 - Boston, The Barracks

Never actually a military barracks but presumably known as such because of its appearance. It is a Grade II* listed row of seven houses which now comprise 124-136 High Street, Boston.

It was built c1700 with brown brick in English bond. Alterations took place in the early C19. Full height pilasters divide each bay.
