What A Shame
I've lived in Spalding for the last 33 years and before that Tongue End. Up until 10 years ago Spalding was a lovely place to live, not now though. I remember walking through the town and people were friendly, yes there were fights but with fists (NOT KNIVES). Now young gangs hang round Holland Market and Hall Place intimidating people, and the police do nothing to protect the good folk of the town. WHAT A SHAME! This was such a wonderful quiet market town.
Lost Relatives
Does any one have any memories of my mother who lived in Surfleet from 1944 till 1948? Her name was Joyce and she was married to an Edward (Eddie) Arthur. My mother was from Newcastle, I think Eddie was a Cockney and had his own business. They lived overlooking the river. He had a sister called Vi. My mother had a baby boy who died very young, he was also called Eddie and I believe he is buried in the churchyard. There is a conection between a lady called Pat who lived in Spalding and I think her son was Billy, she drove a car which I believe was not very popular then for a lady, I would love to have any information. Thanking you, Roz
Memories of High Street
This is a very significant picture to me although taken a good many years after we left high street for Mill Lane. My sister, Hilda and I were both born in one of the houses just beyond the white building, in our time that was the bakery, run by a Mr Wilson and family. (Hilda was born in 1918 and I in 1921.) The first house was Mr Arthur Burton's, then ours, Mr George White, after the archway was Mr Gideon Wilkinson. We moved to Mill Lane in 1936! On the opposite side of the road was the Primitive Methodist Church and the Manse. I remember Mr and Mrs Wacey when he was the Preacher then Mr Arthur and family took over. I was a close friend of Winnie Arthur and remained so up to her death almost three years ago.
Our Father was a bricklayer and worked for the Barnsdales for 40 years!
I have just returned to Alaska after a seven-week visit with family in Boston and area,... Read more
Elizabeth Allaban
I wonder if anyone could be of help. I am in the process of tracing my family tree and have discovered my great grandmother, Elizabth Allaban (or Allabon) (married in Spalding to Joseph Preddy in March 1891) was a servant in Elton Villas, Spalding. Does anyone know where this is or do you know of anyone with the name Allaban? Joseph Preddy was born in Nettleton.
I would love to hear from anyone as I have become seriously addicted to genealogy.
Thanks

Jailhouse Rock
I remember living in Cowbit and went to see jailhouse rock in the Odeon cinema. Never saw the end of the film because the last bus went to early!
I was in the Gleede boys school in 1960-1961 I then moved to Long sutton and the Peele school.
Allaban Surname
My great grandmother, Elizabeth Allaban (born around 1864) was a servant at Elton Villas in Spalding. Do you know where this would have been in Spalding? I am currently tracing my family tree so would be pleased to hear from anyone with that name. Elizabeth Allaban married Joseph Preddy in March 1891 at Spalding.
Regards
Jane Mitchell
