1. The one showing Long’s warehouse is entitled “The River Welland, Spalding, Lincolnshire” from 1827
2. The horseman crossing the stone bridge is “The Reservoir – nr Fossdyke (sic) – Lincolnshire” from (1832)
3. The one of chain bridge is from 1828.
4. The bottom right one is Locks Mill.
I photographed mostly the Spalding originals quite a while ago, but didn’t get a copy of the others shown here.
The originals are 6 by 4 and pasted into a small scrap book with titles and dates (where given) in pencil underneath. Hope this helps a little.
Geoff,
I’m hoping to discover the correct title for the watercolour of Pode Hole (with the then Hop Pole Inn at the centre) by Hilkiah Burgess. Do you know if it was given a title by Hilkiah – or if it is known by another title?

Thanks Pat for your help. I will update the captions.

Sorry no The Spalding Gentleman Society has the original. I think. Regards Geoff
