I'm thinking of writing a story set in the Fens, which is on my doorstep. I have an idea sketched out in my head, but the premise is that the Fens were never drained, and so a pocket of wilderness exists in England where strange things happen, and all manner of unsavoury figures cloister in its moist climate. This state of affairs needs to continue until the present day. But would it be possible to put a halt to attempts to drain the Fens, and what do you think would be the consequences of this.
