More about this scene
Although it is ten miles from the sea on what is now an artificial River Nene, Wisbech maintains its long tradition as a sea port. It is the wealth created by the years of shipping which has given Wisbech two of the most perfect Georgian streets in England - the Brinks on the banks of the River Nene. Market inns line the right-hand side of the square – the Griffin, the Ship Hotel and the Mermaid Inn. The market stalls include an ice cream salesman (centre foreground) immediately in front of the steps leading down to the ladies' convenience!
