Wisbech
In Wisbech the period 1700 -1850 witnessed tremendous growth, which established the fine buildings to be seen today.
The Crescent and Museum Square display fine architecture including Wisbech 'Castle' and the Fenland Museum which gives an excellent insight into the history of the town and surrounding Fens.
North Brink beside the River Nene has been described as 'one of the most perfect Georgian streets in England' and features Peckover House and 18th century town houses, also Elgoods Brewery, a traditional 18th century brewery.
Across the river on South Brink is the Octavia Hill Birthplace Museum commemorating the life and work of the founding member of the National Trust and crusader for housing reform.
