Huntingdon is an important bridge-head where the A1, the Great North Road, crosses the River Great Ouse near to Hinchingbrooke House once home to both the Cromwell's and then the Montagu's, The Earls of Sandwich, where in 1660 Samuel Pepys was secretary to Edward Montagu, so Huntingdon was no stranger to politics when John Major became the youngest Prime Minister of the 20th Century.

Huntingdon is one of the five principle towns in the District of Huntingdonshire, the others being St Ives, St Neots (the largest town in the County of Cambridgeshire), Ramsey site of the former Abbey and the Roman town of Godmanchester. We are also constructing Huntingdonshire Parish websites for Oldhurst and Woodhurst villages

THINK HUNTINGDON!

Use your local shops or you'll loose your local shops!

Now, more than ever, YOU need to support your local shops and where possible buy locally made or locally grown products. If you don't you'll loose the opportunity for a very long time and the town will loose lots of jobs.

If you manage a local business or other local organisation, then see what we can do to help...
