A recent visit to the archives in Huntingdon, resulted in us finding a number of new images of the village. With the kind permission of Huntingdonshire Archives, these photographs of the village that we have added to the site. In total there are 26 different photographs of various locations in the village. You can find them here https://bhp-pc.org.uk/huntingdonshire-archives/
This image is of the Church with the war memorial in its original spot is one of the photographs. As you can see the area looks completely different to how it does today. The memorial was moved from this position to where it now is in 1976 after a car struck the memorial and the Police deemed it to be dangerous. Members of the EBC Royal British Legion decided to move it to a safer location where it would be more accessible. A very wise moved based on how busy the road is today. A history of the war memorial and those who are remembered on it can be found on the Heritage site here – https://bhp-pc.org.uk/bluntisham-cum-earith-war-memorial/
We hope that you enjoy these new photographs. If you have any village memorabilia that you would be interested in sharing with the site then please let us know.
