Skirbeck is a district to the south‑east of Boston's town centre in Lincolnshire, England, sitting alongside the eastern bank of the River Witham. The area mixes older terraces and riverside industrial sites with pockets of newer housing, reflecting its position between the historic port and the wider agricultural hinterland.
Historically tied to shipping, milling and market trade, Skirbeck lies close to the town’s landmark church, the Boston Stump, and has seen modest regeneration in recent years. Local shops, light industry and community groups give it a practical, working feel rather than a purely residential character.
