couldn't find anything specific on Crowland/Cowbit bank, but if you google "1947 floods" you will get a scary assortment of stories and pics.
see http://home.freeuk.com/fenhistory/1947flood.htm et al.
I came to Lincs from sunny South Africa, I don't  wish to experience weather like that, not ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good hunting.
