St Ives, Huntingdonshire
St Ives is a pretty market town in Huntingdonshire, standing on the north bank of the River Great Ouse. It is famous for its mediæval bridge which has a chapel in the middle. Some of the shops in the town centre are still to the same layout as in the Middle Ages, one rod in width, the standard length for floor and roof joists. The lanes along the north side of town are believed to follow the layout of the narrow mediæval fields, and are slightly S-shaped because of the way ploughs turned at each end. The town is within the council area of Huntingdonshire (Cambridgeshire).
