North Bank, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire

Wisbech

Wisbech is a market town and inland port with a population of about 20,000 in the very north of Cambridgeshire. The tidal River Nene runs through the centre of the town and is spanned by two bridges.

The town was formerly a prosperous port, as ships could enter the Wisbech on the river. The port business has now largely moved upstream. Wisbech is noted for its unspoilt Georgian architecture, particularly along North Brink and The Crescent; a legacy of its wealthy past. It has therefore attracted the filming of costume dramas.
