Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking from the Childers' North Drove bridge towards the Childers' South Drove bridge, just visible in the far distance. Built after the 1947 floods and opened in 1953, the Coronation Channel acts as an extra flood defence for Spalding and the surrounding countryside.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This old bridge crossing the Coronation Channel has locked gates at both ends to keep the public off it. It was once part of the rail network from Spalding to Sutton Bridge and King's Lynn

Dist:0.8km<br/>Looking from the east bank towards the old railway bridge. This wide waterway links with the tidal part of the River Welland at [[188936]] and [[188932]] and to the non-tidal part of the river at Clay Lake in [[TF2421]] forming a vital flood defence for the town and the surrounding countryside. It was opened in 1953 after the devastating floods of 1947. The houses on the opposite side of the Channel are on Birch Grove, a fairly new housing development built on the once flood risk area on the edge of Spalding.

No phone or internet
Does anyone no about no phones or internet on estates in Cowbit? Rumour is that it is due to a cable theft. Do we know when we will have communication back? Laurence
