TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO: Asda plans move to former gas works site in Boston (GALLERY)

Here is a selection of photographs taken from the Boston Standard archives for February 2000, relating to an ongoing news story at the time.

Twenty-five years ago, Asda was hoping to relocate from its base off Horncastle Road (what is, today, the Boston Shopping Park).

The destination it had in mind was off Sleaford Road, the site of former gas works.

These pictures show how the area appeared at the time.
