The small market town of Boston, Lincolnshire has much to offer for an interesting day out, including it's fine Medieval church (The Stump), St Mary's Guildhall and Dominican Friary plus a working flour mill and a good selection of Georgian buildings. Boston benefitted from the 1766 construction of the Great Sluice which controlled water levels in the River Witham and created vast tracts of fertile arable land between the port and the City of Lincoln. Trade through the port in agricultural produce and wool made the town very rich until the end of the 19th century.
The religious deviants known later as the Pilgrim Fathers were arrested trying to flee to Holland from Boston and were imprisoned in the Guildhall cells until they were committed for trial at Lincoln Assizes. Connections with the Mayflower are strong and the Museum holds much interesting material on the USA's Founding Fathers.

This is the site of the Boston Tea Party, well not the actual site as that has since been reclaimed as part of Boston's expansion into the harbor. It is a replica of one of the ship that was forcefully boarded on December 16th 1773 and it's contents thrown overboard turning Boston Harbor into a big teapot as part of a protest against a British imposed tax on tea
Amazingly there is quite a lot of gas lighting in Boston. Not just in historic areas but in random places elsewhere.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray today launched the new, updated āIf You See Something, Say Somethingā MBTA transit security awareness campaign during a visit to Bostonās South Station. The campaign urges the public to take an active role in helping to keep the city and the transit system safe and secure.
The MBTA originally adopted the āIf You See Something, Say Somethingā campaign in 2003, based upon a campaign implemented by New York Cityās Metropolitan Transit Authority. The campaign is funded by a $1 million grant from the Department of Homeland Securityās Transit Security Grant Program. It promotes a collaborative effort of state and local agencies to work together educating the public to be more aware of their surroundings, and report any behavior that may appear suspicious to the proper transportation and law enforcement authorities.
The 2011 revitalized campaign uses posters and vehicle car cards along with unique elements customers may encounter during their commute to distribute the āSee Something Say Somethingā message. MassDOT and the MBTA will also use social media including the MassDOT blog, YouTube and Twitter to ask for the publicās help.
Tips on keeping a watchful eye when in transit include the following:
ā¢ Watch for backpacks, packages, or bags placed in out-of-the way locations
ā¢ Watch for packages that contain attached batteries, wires, cell phones, or notes
ā¢ Watch for packages that emit a suspicious cloud, mist, gas, or odor.
ā¢ Watch for suspicious behavior such as individuals who abandon a package, and then hastily depart.
ā¢ Watch for a group of people acting in a rehearsed manner.
ā¢ Watch for people carrying spray bottles or aerosol canisters.
Call the Transit Police at 617-222-1212 or notify an MBTA employee. To report a non-emergency concern call: 1-617-222-8477 (TIPS) or 1-866-773-8368.

On the western corner of Washington and Bromfield Streets, Downtown Crossing, Boston., Massachusetts.
This old car from the Boston Elevated Railway is sitting on a siding in Boylston Station. It's behind a wire grate that makes it pretty difficult to take pictures of it, though. This type of car, type 5, predates the PCCs that now run on the Mattapan line and once ran on the green line for many years.
