Seven Sisters Drain

Norfolk Rivers Trust, King’s Lynn Internal Drainage Board and the Borough Council teamed up to improve an abandoned area of King’s Lynn known as the Seven Sisters Drain. The Drain runs behind the football club and had long been abandoned; the drain was silted, overgrown, and was used as a dumping ground, filled with everything from crisp packets to sofas.

Working together, the three organisations removed the silt to form a new winding channel. Additionally, local volunteers and students from The College of West Anglia have planted the area with native marsh plants to create a thriving wildlife haven.
