Boston Manor Online

Welcome to Boston Manor. This is your guide to the Boston Manor area.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This picture was taken from outside the Globe pub (104 Windmill Road, corner of Boston Gardens) on the 3rd of January 1987. Across the way is Eastbourne Road, and in the distance is the Alfa Laval office by the M4. The man with the camera was about to take a picture of the pub, so I will one day persuade him to sign up to Geograph and submit it!
