SCHEMES for the RECLAMATION of LAND from the SEA in NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH CENTURIES Read 20 Febr
SCHEMES FOR THE RECLAMATION OF LAND FROM THE SEA IN NORTH LANCASHIRE DURING THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES BY WILLIAM ROLLINSON, M.A. Read 20 February 1964 OME of the earliest schemes for the reclamation of land S from the sea in North Lancashire were implemented by the monks of Furness Abbey in the thirteenth century. In the fervour of Cistercian colonisation and agricultural reclamation, several areas on Walney Island were reclaimed by the construction of embankments or dykes of beach pebbles. There is some evidence to suggest that several of these dykes were constructed on both the west and east coasts of the island, but only the great Biggar Dyke on the east coast remains today, the west coast embank ments having been destroyed by marine erosion. Extending for almost a mile north-west of the village of Biggar, the dyke protected part of the east coast of Walney and prevented inundation of low-lying ground during spring tides. During the medieval period it was maintained and repaired by the monastic tenants in Furness, but after the dissolution of the abbey in 1537 the responsibility was assumed by the Crown, and in 1564 by the inhabitants of Walney. In spite of such an early and promising beginning, the progress of land reclamation and agricultural development was retarded after the dissolution, and it was not until the eighteenth century and the period of the Agricultural Revolution that interest was again aroused. Under the stimulus of a rapidly growing urban market and a rise in the price of grain during the Napoleonic wars, the period between the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was one of agricultural expansion and improvement. -
