Unusual double bridge where two counties meet with a T

Cambridgeshire is home to a unique double bridge at the point where two counties meet. The historic structure near Parson Drove is both a bridge and sluice, and was built in the 1830s for drainage in the Fenlands.

Nowadays, Clough's Cross Bridge is also a connecting point between the counties of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. You can stand halfway across the bridge and have a foot in each county.

It was at once the main thoroughfare from Peterborough to Wisbech. The bridge is at the meeting point of the New South Eau Drain and the North Level Drain, with two separate arches underneath where water can pass through. A T-junction on the bridge provides access to Stackwell Forge.

The bridge works were overseen by Sir John Rennie and civil engineer Thomas Pear III of Wisbech. Major ref
