Braceborough Spa
Near Braceborough is Braceborough Spa which had its own railway station, Braceborough Spa Halt,[7] on the independent Essendine to Bourne Railway. It became part of Great Northern Railway. The line was closed in June 1951.[8]
Braceborough Spa, rising in the grounds of Spa House,[6] was popular in the Victorian era for its natural spring waters. As with many Victorian Spas, Braceborough's declined in favour of more modern forms of medical treatment,[original research?] and finally closed in 1939.[citation needed]
