From the Wikipedia article

York Street, is a derelict football stadium in Boston, England, and was the former home of Boston United. Originally called Shodfriars Lane and latterly for sponsorship reasons the Jakemans Stadium, football was first played on the site since the late 19th century by a variety of Boston teams, but it was only used by Boston United since 1933. In the late 1970s the ground was rebuilt. Although the ground most recently had a maximum capacity of 6,643, the record crowd was 11,000 against Derby County. 10 further attendances of more than 8,000 are on record. Boston United left the York Street ground at the end of the 2019/20 season. Railway Athletic FC played in the stadium in 2021-22, but the land was put up for sale in 2022 and the stadium has since been unused. In January 2026 plans were approved to build a £24.9m NHS community diagnostic centre (CDC) on the site of the stadium. Demolition work on the site began in March 2026.

In the mid-1950s the York Street Stand was built, and the ground's first floodlights were installed. These were first played under in 1955, when over 9,000 fans watched Boston's first floodlit game against Corby Town. The new floodlights, erected in each of the four corners of the ground, allowed the Pilgrims to play in various floodlit competitions. In 1977 York Street failed an inspection for league grading, leading to local fundraising in 1978…
