The
River Slea has been a geographical feature of Lincolnshire since time immemorial. But near the area shown in today's photograph it periodically, usually in summer, dries up completely. There is speculation that this might be due to the extraction of water through nearby boreholes, or because of the permeability of the river bed at this point. It would be interesting to know if it dried up in the nineteenth century or in medieval times. That might help us to determine whether the reason was natural or man-made.
