On this day in 1634

Give or take a day or two , the East Anglian fens were reclaimed . Thought you should be aware of that .

 

I live there and TBH it's a shame they bothered. Industrial farmland - what a dump.

 

Nothing beats driving for miles along a long straight road with a big fat dyke on one side and a peaty bog on the other knowing that if you break down you most likely ​

will be starring in your own reenactment of Deliverance

 

Big job for one day

 

If everyone around you has twelve fingers and possibly an extra leg or two, you need that extra space...

 

​

So that's why the locals have webbed feet.

 

There was more than one bloke on the job
