More about this scene

This small fen town was originally built on an island surrounded by seasonal sheep-walks. Even as late as the early 17th century, there was no road linking Chatteris with Ely. It was only when Cromwell installed Henry Ireton as Deputy Governor of the Isle of Ely that the road which is now the A142 was built.
