Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The author argues that, despite the generally negative picture painted of the effects on navigation of the draining of the Fens in the seventeenth century, there is clear evidence that traffic over the waterways continued after the drainage works had been completed, and historians have accepted that the fenland navigations remained viable from the mid-seventeenth century until the coming of the railways. The paper concentrates on the Ouse between Denver and Earith, and the tributary rivers, systematically examining the available information regarding the `before' and `after' condition of the rivers, and the commercial traffic thereon.
