Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. An industrial and market town with a
forest of tall brickwork chimneys stretching westwards towards
Peterborough. Until the 19th century, Whittlesey Mere was a
1900-acre lake, much broadened during floods. In winter it froze
hard enough for skating, which was not only a major Fenland
sport, but one of the fastest and most reliable ways of getting
about. The last great drainage scheme of 1851 used a massive
centrifugal pump to remove the water. This drove away many
species of wildfowl, but also banished the agues and rheumatics
which had plagued the fen-dwellers.  Adjacent
