Hello All

 

I am currently enhancing our records on flood defences and have come across the term ‘soss’. I had thought it may refer to a sluice; however an old book I have found of the internet records a soss and sluice being installed. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=apIJAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA428&lpg=PA428&dq=stanground+drainage+of+the+fens&source=bl&ots=RDGrvosZEb&sig=pqD8IPkWCBmpkgsUQ8fr3tfjaWI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rZkbUe-fIvOW0QXXyICoDg&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAw#v=snippet&q=stanground%20&f=false

 

Any ideas would be gratefully received J

 

Best wishes
