Wansford is a particularly picturesque village with most of the buildings built of ‘coursed limestone rubble with freestone quoins’ (that’s rough bits for most of the wall but flat square stone at the corners).
The Wansford bypass with its new bridge was constructed in 1929 heralding another eventual change, the demise of the railway, as well as relieving the antique bridge of heavy traffic.
In the centre of Wansford bridge is a boundary post that records the north end of the bridge as being in the Soke of Peterborough while the south end is in Huntingdonshire.
