The address – 53 and 54 Market Place – is Grade II listed with Historic England, meaning it is classed as of ‘special interest’.
The building dates from the early 18th century, though has gone through a number of alterations during its lifetime. It is also located within Boston’s Conservation Area.
Before being a branch of HSBC, it was the home of the town’s McDonald’s. Further back in time, it was the Kings Cafe and Famous Army Stores.
