Gedney Fen Looking towards Gedney Broadgate from Fleet Drain.
The drain in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/619623">TF3923 : Drain on Fleet Fen</a> is meant to go under Fleet Drain and continue zig-zagging across this field according to the maps. Instead it flows directly into Fleet Drain, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/619014">TF3923 : Sunlit Fens</a>. I wonder if the change in vegetation colour marks the old route. (This appears to be a recent alteration: see Google Earth.)
