About

Skirbeck is a residential district situated along the western bank of the River Haven, directly across from Boston's historic town centre. The area is primarily composed of housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments, with local shops and services concentrated along its main roads. It functions as a quiet neighbourhood for commuters into the town, separated by the waterway yet connected by several bridges.

The parish church of St. Nicholas, with its distinctive spire, stands as a local landmark amidst the homes. The area includes the West End and stretches towards the railway line, with open spaces like the playing fields of Boston Rugby Club providing recreational ground. The riverbank offers views back towards the Stump and the port, tying the area to the town's broader maritime setting.
