In the literature on the spatial spread of linguistic  innovations, traditional models of diffusion have been adopted largely  uncritically from (economic) geography. The validity of geographical critiques  of these traditional diffusion models is demonstrated through an examination of  the diffusion of eight linguistic innovations from the southeast of England to  the Fens, a rural area approximately 150 km north of London. Whilst diffusion  models in sociolinguistic dialectology have tended to expect vigorous  innovations to eradicate conservative dialect forms in their path, and some of  the innovations examined here have indeed conquered local variants, it is found  that some of the spreading dialect forms are unsuccessful and others only  partially so.
