Spalding Common

Spalding Common is an area south-west of Spalding in Lincolnshire, England, near Little London. Part of Deeping Fen, it includes farmland that was drained following parliamentary enclosure in 1801. Along its eastern edge, suburban housing has emerged since the late 19th century. Residents are served by a community hall, which opened in 1956. A primary school, Goodfellows School, operated from 1871 to 2004, and there was a baptist chapel at the Common from 1870 to 1966.
