The Admiral Nelson was situated on the A52. This pub closed in 2019.

My great uncle and aunt James & Fanny Wright took over the pub in 1924, for that was when their previous pub, The Rose & Crown, 17 Witham Place Boston closed. The couple stayed at the Lord Nelson until James [known as Jimmy] retired in 1939.
