SPALDING - Opened in October 1848 by the GNR on the Peterborough to Boston and Lincoln routes, Spalding quickly expanded into a major railway centre, with lines to Holbeach in 1862, Bourne in 1866 and March in 1867. The railway map was competed in 1882 with the GN/GE Joint line to Sleaford. By this time the station had expanded to 7 platforms and had it's own motive power depot. The station is seen here in about 1910 with an M&GN train about to depart.
