This is a difficult square to Geograph, with no easy access other than by the occasional direct train between Grantham and Ancaster. And then, as the train speeds along just the few hundred yards not in a cutting (with trees obscuring the view over half of that), just seconds in which to take a picture. — Jericho Wood Credit: Tim Heaton

This unit forms part of an edge-of-town shopping complex adjacent to the busy A1 which is owned and operated by the company Oldrids. Founded in 1804, Oldrids have a proud heritage spanning over two hundred years. Starting out as a Draper’s store in Boston the company has continued to grow and innovate over time and were one of the first businesses in the UK to develop edge-of- town retailing in the 1970’s. This part of the site was developed in 1989 in a tie-up with Boundary Mills who lease half of the building. A separate Downtown branded garden centre was added to the site in 1998.
