About our area
Market Deeping is by the River Welland in Lincolnshire. The market for which this place was famous had already started to decline by 1885 and then in the late 20th century, it was finally moved off the streets to a nearby pedestrian precinct. Three annual fairs were also once held here but they are also no more. These had been held for cattle on the second Wednesday after May Day and on October 10th, along with one "chiefly for wood" on the last Wednesday in July. It was most probably the loss of these fairs that led to the town's decline in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a process that has in recent years been dramatically reversed because today, Market Deeping flourishes. The rest of this town's name, together with the other Deepings, serves as a reminder of a place in the deep meadows liable to flooding by the River Welland from time immemorial.
