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. Gilbert Heathcote's tunnel drained into the Counter Drain nearby.
