Hi Fen skating was /is held at Tongue End Nr. Spalding in Lincs. and was at
one time held on Cowbit Wash also near Spalding. I am sure there was/is an
association for this sport. I think i saw a book in some "perhaps Cambs"
achive on a skating association. Local Newpapers for Spadling are
Linconshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian. The Crescent, Spalding lincs.
Brand is a name which i have heard of in this area my mums pals married one
. Lynda born in south lincs.
