Axholme Light Railway Bridge Over The Pauper's Drain - Geograph
The Isle of Axholme is an area of Lincolnshire, England, adjoining South Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is located between Scunthorpe and Gainsborough, both of which are in the traditional West Riding of Lindsey, and Doncaster, in South Yorkshire. Description The name ''Isle'' is given to the area since, prior to the area being drained by the Dutchman Cornelius Vermuyden in the 17th century, each town or village was built on areas of dry, raised ground in the surrounding marshland. The River Don used to flow to the north and west (it has since been diverted), dividing the Isle from Yorkshire; the River Idle separates the Isle from Nottinghamshire; and the River Trent separates the Isle from the rest of Lincolnshire. Three towns developed here: Epworth, Crowle and Haxey. The boundaries of the Isle of Axholme usually match with those of the ancient ''wapentake'' of Epworth and its 17 communities as listed in the Domesday Book of 1086: Belton, Crowle, Epworth, ...
