Lincolnshire / Re: Cuckoo Road, Spalding

Hello Helen,
I run Welbys Farm on Horseshoe Road. I understand that it was owned by George Welby. I know nothing of the Chappell conection. The Lincs (Holland) County Council purchased the farm in 1893, which I think co incided with George's death. They paid £3750 for 88 acres. It was originally called Fen Farm, but was renamed after its previous owner.
We came to the farm in 1959, & were told that our official address was Cuckoo Road, Spalding. It was still Cuckoo Road in 1970, but was joined to Horseshoe Road at a later date.
I personally demolished the farmhouse & buildings
