Full Description
A terrace of four cottages and wall dating from the early 19th century which underwent minor alterations in the 20th century. The cottages were built of red brick in Flemish bond with painted dressings and have a pantile roof with three ridge stacks and dog-tooth eaves. The cottages are sited opposite the site of Tuxford's Boston and Skirbeck Iron Works, developed in the 1820s and 30s, and were probably built as a manager's and foreman's houses.

Nos 4-10 Fishtoft Road is a terrace of four early 19th century cottages. Immediately opposite the terrace is the site of William Tuxford’s Boston and Skirbeck Iron Works, developed in the 1820s and 1830s and pioneers in the development of agricultural steam engines. The cottages may have been built to house workers and their families. The terrace is built of red brick with a tiled roof hipped at the west end. The westernmost cottage is larger than the others. To the front of the four cottages is a low brick garden wall. {2}
