About Fencing in Ely
Ely in Cambridgeshire grew on a natural rise above the flat surrounding Fens, giving the town its old name, the Isle of Eels, and was accessible only by boat until the Fens were drained in the seventeenth century. Its cathedral, begun in 1083, is famous for the octagon tower built in the 1330s after the original central tower collapsed, and the Anglo Saxon rebel Hereward the Wake made his last stand against the Normans on the isle.

Types of Materials found in Ely
Ely sits on a low rise of clay and limestone that stands proud of the surrounding Fenland, which is otherwise made up of soft, peaty alluvial soil reclaimed by drainage. Ground on the higher parts of the town is generally firmer, while low lying Fen edge areas can need deeper post footings due to the soft peat.
