Photos of Newburyport Urban Renewal and Bossy Gillis’ Gas Station

April 7th, 2012

I thought I would put up some of the photos that I took at the Archives at the Newburyport Public Library. These are photos of Bossy Gillis’ gas station down at Market Square, and its demolition, along with some of the text and the dates - October 1968 and December 1968.
