Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Great Dyke illustrates the tension in the Black Fens, since the mid 1600s, between flood defence for the district as a whole and the interests of farmers in particular places. The issue was negotiated in complicated relations between the Bedford Level Corporation and two internal drainage boards. The dyke was a canal. It was cut across the Hundred Foot Washes between 1658 and the mid 1750s. A turf lock was inserted in about 1810 and its sluices were renovated in 1837–8. The dyke fell out of use in the late 1800s. Dyke and lock are explained with reference to the literature in regional and local history, to archives, and to archaeology. | ||||||||||||||
