New heritage centre to open in Boston
AN exciting new project is being launched in Boston that aims to celebrate the history and heritage of the waterways in and around the town.
The Black Sluice Lock Cottages in will become a new heritage centre about Boston's waterways, with particular focus on the South Forty Foot Drain and the River Haven, and will display artefacts and memorabilia. It will also be a community information point sign-posting users to local services, businesses and events.

The aim of the project is to promote the often-forgotten fact that Boston is a coastal town and that the rivers and waterways of the town have had a demonstrable impact on the social-economic development of the town throughout history.
The Black Sluice Lock Cottages have been developed by the Lincolnshire Waterways Partnership into a multi-use space including a cafe, conference suite and offices.
