This postcard shows a photo of the last working wind-pump in the Cambridgeshire fens and is found in Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve (NNR), which I visited last September of 2022. Wicken Fen is located in Ely and is about an hour's drive from Peterborough.
Wicken Fen is the oldest nature reserve managed by the National Trust and also considered the most famous fen in England. A fen is a type of peat-accumulating wetland fed by mineral-rich ground or surface water; it is one of the main types of wetlands along with marshes, swamps, and bogs (Source: Wikipedia). The working wooden wind-pump is a top feature of Wicken Fen and is popular with the visitors.
