History of the Nun's Bridge

A black and white Ordnance Survey map segment from 1901 showing Nun's Bridge, roads, land parcels, and tree symbols.

Nun’s Bridge, Alconbury Brook OS 1901

The bridge dates from the 15th or 16th century. In 1967 this ceased to be the main route between Huntingdon and Brampton.
