Description002osd000000003u00193000.jpg |
This plan is dominated by fenland crossed by drains, which are indicated by single blue lines. The drainage system was installed in the 17th century by Dutch engineer, Cornelius Vermuyden. The first years of the scheme were dogged by riots and civil disobedience, much of the population viewing the scheme as an encroachment upon the commonland where they grazed cattle. |
