In its heyday Spalding was a busy commercial port, with a shipping
industry that affected a large majority of the local population.
But today that rich history is almost forgotten and the town is
known mainly for its agricultural produce. Keith Seaton
nostalgically seeks to recover that lost past, beginning with the
River Welland of Roman times and traversing history up to the early
twentieth century, when river traffic began to decline. The
Industrial Revolution was a boom period for the waterway, and as
such special attention is given to the master mariners of this
important period. Using key sources such as census and shipping
records, local family history records, maps and fascinating
illustrations, The River Welland: Shipping & Mariners of
Spalding creates a rich tapestry of the heritage of this
once-thriving shipping area.
