The solemn-looking little girl pictured in the 1950s in Spalding’s old Corn Exchange – on the site of South Holland Centre – is Vivien Earl, according to Alan Lambert, the chairman of the Friends of Moulton Mill, where the original photograph is on display.
The photograph is one of the artefacts left at the mill by the last miller, John Biggadike, whose family were corn merchants as well as millers

Keith Seaton of Spalding has submitted this photograph of the town’s Shipwreck Society.
Keith knows four people on this image: his late uncle Tomas Seaton, who was chairman of Spalding Council, his friend Sindham (Windy) Baker, a Mr A Atherton, and Joe Arnold, the man with the beard pictured at the front.
Keith believes the picture was taken in the club room at the Ship Albion and hopes it will arouse some interest.

Spalding Shipwreck Society Celebration “click to enlarge”
Sheddies fish restaurant
Turners Fish Restaurant in Spalding – popularly known as Sheddies – is celebrating its centenary with a special gala night next Wednesday with supper and special entertainment.
In looking back at the business’s past 100 years, the family has unearthed some old photographs, such as this picture of the old shop taken in the late 1920s.
There has been a Sheddy frying fish on the same corner of New Road with Red Lion Street since Fred ‘Sheddy’ Turner bought an old poultry and game dealer’s shop there in 1913.
A bag of chips to take away cost just one old penny in 1913. To celebrate the centenary, a portion of fish and chips will be sold for £1 between 5pm and 7pm on Wednesday.
The photograph above shows the shop as it was in 1952.
