Huntingdonshire Postcards: Market Towns of a Historic County

Huntingdonshire postcards for sale cover a historic English county that became part of Cambridgeshire in 1974, so its place names capture an administrative identity that no longer exists on modern maps. Huntingdon itself was the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell in 1599, and postcards of the town's high street and market place sit alongside the church where he was baptised.

St Ives postcards often picture the town's medieval bridge, built in 1425 with a chapel added the following year, one of only four surviving bridge chapels in England; Cromwell lived in St Ives for five years in the 1630s, and a bronze statue of him has stood in the Market Place since 1901. Ramsey, founded around an abbey established in 969 and dissolved in 1539, and Godmanchester also feature among this county's market towns.

Postcards from St Neots, Ramsey, Godmanchester and other Huntingdonshire towns and villages appear here too, and we add to this county's stock whenever we can.
