Talk:Collett's Bridge

Village?
In the process of trying to find coordinates for this, I can verify that this was really a named place, but I cannot find any evidence that it was ever a village (or town, etc.). It was, in fact, apparently a real bridge across the now-filled-in Wisbech Canal shown as "Emneth Bridge" on OS maps through the 1888-1890 map, and then shown as Collett's Bridge beginning on the 1902 map. The bridge apparently lent its name to a train stop, in particular, a request stop on the defunct (but important for its connection with Thomas the Tank Engine) Wisbech and Upwell Tramway per this Geograph article.
