The Wash

The Wash
Back in the 13th Century The Wash extended right into The Fens on this map by Amitchell125 at English Wikipedia. These days the whole area is drained and pumped but under sea level and always prone to flooding. The sea is now pushed back to roughly the The Wash area with many former ports now miles from the sea.
