TitlePetition of the Inhabitants of Several Counties, Cities and Towns Interested in the Navigation of the River Ouse, River Cam, River Grant, Mildenhall River, River Nene, and the other rivers passing through the Great Level of the Fens
DescriptionPetition for the River [Nene] to be scoured out between Salter's Lode and Stanground Sluice, as it is so overgrown and silted up that navigation has become totally impossible. They also ask for a pen sluice to be erected at Aslin's Gravel; for a further pen sluice to be erected below Well; for the ebb doors at Salter's Lode Sluice to be properly repaired, and for the sluice-keeper of Stanground Sluice to be obliged to supply the River Nene with water at all times without charge or expense to the watermen. Forty seven signatories.
