Tongue End
Tongue End is a small village in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated east from Bourne and south-west from Spalding, and alongside the Counter Drain that runs between Baston and Pode Hole.
Tongue End comprises Victorian red-brick farmworkers' cottages and early 20th-century former council houses. It once had a village school, and three public houses.
The name is said to refer to the shape of the land between the rivers Glen and Bourne Eau. There is a location on the Stamford Canal which is similarly formed and has the same name.
Tongue End falls within the drainage area of the Welland and Deepings internal [drainage board|Internal Drainage Board]. Gilbert Heathcote's tunnel drained into the Counter Drain nearby.
