1 : 31680 This drawing covers a section of the Lincolnshire coast from Humberstone in the north to Mablethorpe in the south. Down the right of the sheet, the sandy beaches characterising this stretch of the coast are represented by banks of fine dots. Salt marshes are indicated by areas of grey shading. Further inland, the map shows the ditches and dykes constructed to drain the fens. Metcalf, Edward B.

1 : 31680 Dikes and canals constructed to drain the fens are the prominent feature of this plan of the West Fen in Lincolnshire. These date from the 17th century, when James I appointed Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden to direct the drainage of the wetlands. Many local people opposed the scheme as the plan involved commonland on which they grazed cattle. As a result of Vermuyden's work, the fens changed radically in appearance, from an area of flooded marshes to one of extensively farmed agricultural land. Budgen, Charles

Grimsby

1 : 31680 This drawing covers part of north-east Lincolnshire, showing Grimsby and its harbour on the Humber estuary at top right. An important seaport since the Middle Ages, Grimsby declined in importance as its harbour became blocked by silt from the Humber. The harbour was improved and expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries. Grimsby is now the main fishing port of Great Britain. Metcalf, Edward B.

Tattershall(002OSD000000013U00243000)

1 : 31680 This drawing covers part of the Lincolnshire coast. It shows sand dunes and silt and the navigable portion off the coast known as the Boston Deeps on the right of the sheet. Canals and dykes are a manmade feature of the East Fen and are highlighted in blue towards the left of the plan. These date from the 17th century, when James I appointed Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden to direct the drainage of the fens wetlands. Many local people opposed the scheme as the plan involved commonland on which they grazed cattle. As a result of Vermuyden's work, the Fens changed radically in appearance, from an area of flooded marshes to one of extensively farmed agricultural land. Budgen, Charles
