BEDFORD RIVERS (New and Old), two of the finest drains of the Bedford Level. They go 21 miles north-eastward, from Earith in Hunts to Salter's Lode near Downham in Norfolk; and run nearly parallel to each other, about a mile asunder. The New river was cut about 1650, and is 100 feet wide; while the Old was cut earlier, and is 70 feet wide.
