Pike Drain as it runs through Boultham Park in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The Pike Drain leaves the River Witham in two sections, one at Boultham Park and the other by Manor Farm south of Bracebridge. It runs through Whisby Nature Park before ending 4 miles later to the east of a village named Eagle. It may have been cut at same time as the Main and Catchwater Drains as part of Lincoln West Drainage Scheme between 1804 and 1816.
Boultham Park was formerly part of the estate of Boultham Hall before being purchased by the City in 1931 and laid out as a public park. All the buildings have been demolished except the lodges and gate piers of 1872, by William Watkins. It covers an area of 20 hectares and became a Grade II Registered Park and Garden in 1968.
