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.

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!

Father's connection with the park
My father worked in the field that became Carters Park when Mr Carter gave it to the town. He was Cyril King and he was aged 13 at the time, having left school to work on the land.

It was not only Wordsworth who could see daffodils; we in Lincolnshire can see millions of them at the appropriate time of the year. Around Spalding and Holbeach there are field after field of these beautiful flowers all telling us that spring is here at last.
