Home of the famous Spalding Flower Parade, and an important centre
of the flower and bulb industry, you won't find any of the old 'Spaldas' here
now. They all left before Spalding became a bustling medieval port on the Wash.
Long before the land was drained and reclaimed, and the Wash receded to it's
present position, leaving Spalding as a peaceful market town on the river Welland
with beautiful riverside walks. Grand Georgian terraces and buildings flank
the river, indicating Spalding's tradition as a major trading centre

The River Welland
Alongside the river is the glorious restored medieval manor house, Ayscoughee
Hall.
Now a museum of local history, it houses an art gallery, tourist information
office, and has some fine formal gardens. Spalding's traditional shopping centre
around the market place and sheep market, is complimented by Tuesday and Saturday
markets, and there are many cafe's, coffee houses, and pubs for refreshment.
