A related report in an Australian newspaper here; http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/74929567
“It stands as a monument to the private enterprise of 3 Lincolnshire farmers, Joe
Ward, Alec Hay and George Thompson, who between them risked £50,000 to push their
farm boundaries half a mile out to sea.”
The drainage engineer was Edwin George TAVERNER (1906-60) – not Taviner as in the caption.
Thanks Pete, will also edit the information.
I believe Mr. Tavener was married to my Great Aunt Doris Tavener (Bennett), sister to William Bennett, Tindall’s Mill Chairman. Mr. Tavener was the chief engineer on the Coronation Canal in Spalding
Thanks for the comment.
Happy New Year
