Woodhall Spa, in Lincolnshire, had a population of around 4,700 at the 2021 census — a Victorian spa village that became a wartime home to one of the RAF's most famous squadrons.
From Victorian spa to Dambusters base
Woodhall Spa grew up around mineral springs discovered in the 1820s, developing into a genteel spa town in the Victorian era. In the Second World War, RAF 617 Squadron — the "Dambusters" — operated from RAF Woodhall Spa, with the Petwood Hotel requisitioned as their officers' mess; a memorial in the village's Royal Square commemorates the connection today.
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.
