Abstract
On January 3rd, 1915, the Little Ouse burst its right bank not far from the Feltwell 2nd District Pumping Station, and as a result thousands of acres of fenland became flooded. The portion of the flooded land on which the following observations were made is a part of Southery fen situated near Southery, Norfolk. It lies between Peckett's Farm and Turf Fen Farm, and belongs to the Norfolk County Council. This land is some distance from the place where the burst occurred, and as a consequence there was no deposit of silt. The height of the flood here was about nine feet. The water was gradually pumped off and the land cleared by September, 1915.
