IN PICTURES: Strait Bargate, in Boston, ready for traffic ban trial in March 1980

Here we have a selection of photographs from in and around Strait Bargate, in Boston, 40 years ago.

They were taken shortly before the launch of a trial ban on traffic along the stretch of road. It followed the opening of the so-called ‘Inner Relief Road’ (John Adams Way) almost two years earlier after more than two decades of planning.
