The Thomas Canal is a ditch that was dug by Thomas Piepers and his sons as part of the relief work around 1935 and was intended to drain the fens. It didn't help much because the water soaked the sandy soil. When there was water in it, it was orange in color, which is why children called it the tomato canal.
