TitleMemorial of Certain Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Mepal and Welney Washes
DescriptionThe memorialists report that their land in the [Ouse] Washes is currently underwater, as a flood broke through the Cradge Bank of the Hundred Foot River in May. They suggest that installing a gauge at Seven Holes Sluice, repairing the Cradge Bank above Mepal and scouring the Old Bedford River and River Delph would improve the drainage of the district and prevent similar flooding in the future. Fifty one signatories.
