Little London Primitive Methodist chapel dates from 1829. It was rebuilt in 1842 and a Sunday school added in 1866. It closed in 1985 and at the time of Keith Guyler’s photograph was used as a storehouse. On Google Street View in 2015 it still looks unused and unloved.
68 London Road, three doors up from the former chapel, is a house named the Old Chapel. This building is marked on the Ordnance Survey County map as a school and is the school which was related to the Primitive Chapel.

While searching on the google map for the PM chapel at ’64 London Road’, Spalding it looks as if it is actually at number 64 on a street that is now known as ‘Little London’ (in the area of Spalding of that name), and the house at 68 Little London is ‘The Old Chapel’. Your map above shows this street name.
Coming from Spalding town centre, London Road now ends with numbers above 133 at its junction with Cradge Bank, and continues down the B1172 as ‘Little London’. Older OS maps (1930 and before), show that this street heading SW from the junction was indeed formerly called London Road.
If you put ’64 London Road’ in google maps it shows you a row of mostly new houses along the river further north. So numbering may have been changed as well.
