Emneth is about 3 miles from the main town of Wisbech. We are approximately 100 miles north of London, 21 miles from the historic town of Peterborough & 16 miles from the historic town of Kings Lynn. To the north of us is Lincolnshire and Spalding and to the south is Downham Market about 8 miles from us and Cambridge 48 miles. We are known as living in the Fenlands of East Anglia. There is so much history of this area as well as our own village.

If the traffic is good it is less then 2 hours to drive to London and the very worst travel in comfort by train. 50 minutes from Peterborough via GNER to Kings Cross. Or use First Capital Connect trains from Kings Lynn to Cambridge 45 minutes. Kings Lynn to Kings Cross 90 minutes.

And most famous of all is Thomas the tank engine writer The Rev Awdry was the village vicar & wrote all those famous train stories here.

 

The village is self contained and has a fabulous community spirit amongst the dwellers.

Emneth has 2 pubs called The Queens Head & The Gaultree but it was previously called The Swan. It is dead handy having 2 pubs in the village which are less then 1/2 a mile from our house. Lots of soft hedges to guide your way home when your in a  drunken stupor. It also has a fishing tackle shop, a Convenience Store/Post Office, a Spar shop, Fish and Chip/ Chinese shop, Hairdressers, 2 Churches Village halls and Steve Curtis's the Butcher.

This Village Does not have Pew, Brew, barney Mcgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble or Grub. In fact we don't even have a Fire Brigade in the Village BUT...we do have a Mobile Police Station once a month courtesy of  Norfolk Constabulary. For security we have our very own Tony Martin. Oooops!

We have found some photograph's around the village from late 1800's, early 1900's (we think) and made modern digital photographs as best we can of the same in August 2006. Simply click on the thumbnails to see full photographs
