Spilsby, in Lincolnshire, had a population of around 2,700 at the 2021 census — a small market town that gave the world one of its most famous Arctic explorers.
Birthplace of Sir John Franklin
Spilsby was the birthplace, in 1786, of Sir John Franklin, the Royal Navy officer and explorer who led expeditions to chart the Northwest Passage. A statue of Franklin has stood in the town's market place since 1861, and his name is still tied to the town's local history and heritage trails.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Spilsby shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent — no trip into Boston or Skegness required.
