March
March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely region of Cambridgeshire, England. March was the county town of the Isle of Ely, which was a separate administrative county between 1889 and 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council. Similar to many Fenland towns, March was originally an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the 2nd largest 'island' in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town grew and prospered as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before emerging as, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre. March is set on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today largely used by pleasure boats. The town's development occurred most quickly when it came to be an essential railway centre. It had a significant junction in between the Great Eastern Railway and Great Northern Railway at March railway station, enabling 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 unusual in that it is one of a couple of post offices that display the royal cypher from the short reign of Edward VIII.
