Full Description
A 19th century corner public house with later alterations. It has a two storey, three bay front dressed in render, under a hipped slate roof with three brick stacks. The ground floor has a moulded semi-circular entrance with a keystone, and a similar design echoed in the corner window (a former doorway) with muted pilaster columns on either side and a plain cornice above. There are modern casement windows on both floors. The vestibule (entrance from West Street) has an off sales hatch, with the left doorway leading to saloon bar, and the right doorway to a public bar and games room beyond. Each area is served by a single central servery, retaining some of its original form, such as the bar backs. {1} The Eagle was historically the most westerly public house in Boston. Influential residents of the Sleaford Road area objected to licences being granted to the west of the railway lines. {2}
