I was going to post a picture of Boston Lincs but thought I might get some ggggrrrrrssss from the locals!
Looking forward to the photos and wonder whether they will answer some fundamental questions such as are Black Holes hairy like Steven Hawking suggested.
As a Bostonian (but a Cestrian fo the last 40 years) why Boston? And I do agree with you, when I went to the Grammar School it was a fairly well-to-do market town, but over the last 20 years or so on visits to my late parents it really deteriorated. It's a bit of a dump now, especially along Spilsby Road.
My brother, who's a farm manager out in the Fens is shortly to retire, so he has to buy a house for the first time, and whilst he's well-off financially, he can't find anything in the town that he'd want to buy. Sad really, it used to be a lovely little Fenland town.
And it's not the migrant community, it's just a lack of investment and a loss of urban pride. And I don't know why; my Cheshire/Marches village home for the last 30 years hasn't gone the same way. Must be a lack of cash in the arable farming industry driven to the bottom by the buying power of the supermarkets, squeezing margins.
