Talk:Spalding, Lincolnshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have removed Coronation Channel from the article as it does not flow north from Crowland and does not cut the town in half east/west. The Coronation Channel is (if I remember correctly) the drainage channel built to the east of the river in 1953 after flooding in the fens (in 1947). I believe that this misunderstanding came from the spaldingnet web site, and may also be due to the river being straightened and widened in the late 40s.

[edit] Water Taxi

I added a section on this, as I felt it was worth noting. However, as this is the first time I've ever bothered to add content, as opposed to just correcting a couple of things, it may not contain enough detail, or, conversely, I may have gone a bit over the top with it. In either case, it may need to be corrected, or, if there was a particular reason that it wasn't included, then removed entirely. But yes, I have read all most of the guidelines :P. --86.137.119.39 21:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
