Bawsey Drain is one of four strategic watercourses which protect the town of King’s Lynn from surface water flooding during periods of significant rainfall. The others are: The Gaywood River; the North Lynn Drain; and the Pierrepoint/Middleton Stop system. Between them, they carry most of the water that rains on King’s Lynn through to the sea defences and out into The Wash.
