I recall reading in a book, possibly one on the M&GNJR, that the three stations between Spalding and Bourne were all "named after local drainage ditches", and that Twenty railway station got its name from the twenty-foot drain. If true, then were Twenty (the village) and Twenty Farm both built after the railway station? --Redrose64 (talk) 18:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

The village certainly was. There was farming here before, but the increased affluence caused by ease of export led to an explosion in farm building. The main Wikipedia entry suggests that the name was indeed taken from the name of the drain. Brunnian (talk) 08:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I go along with the '20 foot drain' idea from the main article, See also :

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Twenty railway station/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The article does seem fairly complete in its context, and taken with the related ones One can elaborate forever, with photographs, historic details, names of staff and the station cat, but it seems more than a stub to me.
