For those historians out there,it was split between 2 counties until 1965 when it became under one authority,(Huntingdon and Peterborough),and the boundary post is still there halfway across the bridge marking the north side of the Nene as in the Soke of Peterborough,an autonomous part of Northamptonshire until 1965 and the south side as in Huntingdonshire.
