About

Skirbeck ward lies on the eastern side of Boston, bounded by the tidal Haven river to the west. The area encompasses a mix of residential streets, industrial estates, and significant areas of open agricultural land extending towards the Wash. Housing includes traditional terraces and more modern developments, with local commerce focused along Freiston Road.

The ward contains the historic St Nicholas Church, which sits adjacent to the ancient Skirbeck Quarter. A notable feature is the presence of several large vegetable packing and processing plants, reflecting the area's direct economic link to the surrounding Fenland agriculture. The landscape is largely flat, with drainage channels common across the fields.
