Bridge over Middle Level Main Drain
The bridge carries the A1122 over the Middle Level Main Drain the sluice gate of which can be seen in mid-distance.
The Main Drain was cut in 1848 to allow lowering of the levels in the Middle Drain and the drainage of the surrounding land for cultivation. In order to preserve the higher level in the Well Creek, the Mullicourt Aqueduct (and a lock at Marmont Priory) were built, thus preserving the important commercial navigation link through Upwell and Outwell and onwards to Peterborough. The water level in Well Creek is more than 2 metres above that in the Main Drain.
