Boston Spa
It was revised and divided in 2009, restricting the boundaries to Boston Spa parish and reshaped to exclude areas of late-20th-century estate housing to the south of the High Street.When Boston Spa was founded in 1744 it was in the township of Clifford in the old parish of Bramham, in the upper division of the wapentake of Barkston Ash, in the West Riding of Yorkshire.There are three public houses, (the Admiral Hawke and the Fox and Hounds both owned by Samuel Smith Old Brewery) and the Crown Hotel on the high street owned by an independent group of investors, a small Costcutter supermarket in the former Royal Hotel and several independent retailers in the village centre (a butcher, hardware shop and several takeaway restaurants).[9] The Boston Spa branch of the British Library, the Document Supply Service, is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-east of the village in the Thorp Arch Trading Estate.[14] Close by in Clifford, is Boston Spa Academy, the local secondary school taking pupils from areas which also feed comprehensives in Wetherby, Garforth and Pendas Fields.The school has success in sports and science teaching, and caters for pupils undertaking GCSEs, A levels, GNVQs and those with special needs according to its Ofsted reports.[15] Other educational establishments in Clifford include the children's hospice Martin House and St John's Catholic School for the Deaf which has a UK-wide catchment.
