Small Lode past old red-brick barn
The junction with Low Side can be seen at right. Upwell is located on the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens. It is traversed by Well Creek > http://www.wellcreektrust.org.uk/wellcreektrust_history.html. Draining of the fens and their conversion into fertile agricultural land started in 1630 when the Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden was employed by a group led by the Earl of Bedford. Despite all efforts, nature contrived to ensure that the drainage work should continue as the dry peat shrunk and further lowered the level of the land. Upwell merges with the adjoining village of Outwell, situated on the A1122 close to the Cambridgeshire border about 5 miles south of Wisbech . http://www.upwellpc.co.uk/index.php

Wisbech & Upwell tramway - Small Lode
Exiting Upwell depot > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1241222 the tramway crossed Small Lode, passing the first house seen at right, heading northwards towards the village of Outwell > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1241458. Nothing of the trackbed remains but its course can still be glimpsed by following sections of paths and tracks.
Wisbech & Upwell tramway's Upwell depot was 5 miles 72 chains distant from Wisbech. The line had eleven sidings, with two originally allocated for passenger traffic. During the fruit season the sidings could hold more than a hundred vans. The depot had a cattle dock, a depot office, a passenger waiting room, and a coal merchant's office and staithes. There was also an ash pit, and an old GER tender was used for a water tower until 1953 when it was removed. http://www.lner.info/co/GER/wisbech/route.shtml
