Hi Roger, Looking at an old OS map covering the period 1888-1913, Fishtoft Drove existed then with Church Lane heading north from it. Look at http://explorer.geowessex.com/ which is primarily for the Dorset area but does cover quite a large area of the country as well. On the home map page, at the RHS choose Ordnance Survey maps from the Base layer, (first rectangle shape below* ?*) then from Layers control (second box -2 rectangles superimposed) click on OS historic maps, then the one you want from the opened list, I looked at NLS OS 6 Inches to the Mile Second Edition (1888 - 1913). I had located Boston first then zoomed in after I had chosen the right historic period. I cannot see a Whistley Bridge Road near to Fishtoft.
