On the “Fen” side a man is seen digging peat, which was used for fuel, and created the open water, while a second man is cutting reed for thatching. Two raft spiders, for which Redgrave Fen is famous are shown in the centre. Other wildlife depicted, include the willow warbler and reed bunting, stinkhorn fungi and grass snakes. Illustrated on the spandrels are two men in a boat, one wildfowling with a gun and the other fishing with rod in hand. The white ducks are probably a reference to Button’s duck factory which is now Gressingham Foods. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6774549
