March
March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England. March was the county town of the Isle of Ely, which was a separate administrative county in between 1889 and 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council. Much like various Fenland towns, March was originally an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the second largest 'island' in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town established and prospered as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before transforming into, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and train centre. March is situated on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today primarily used by pleasure boats. The town's progression took place most rapidly when it transformed into an essential train centre. It had a major junction between the Great Eastern Railway and Great Northern Railway at March train station, permitting ease of access to and from London, Cambridge and Ely. In particular, March Royal Mail sorting office, previously a full post office dates from 1936, is uncommon in that it is among a few post offices that display the royal cypher from the short reign of Edward VIII.
