Huntingdon and Peterborough
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox historic district Image:Hunt pboro.pngHuntingdon and Peterborough was a short-lived administrative county in England.
It was formed in 1965 by the merger of the administrations of Soke of Peterborough and Huntingdonshire, both very small counties, in an attempt to make a more viable administrative unit. To these were attached the Thorney Rural District from the Isle of Ely.
This attempt was deemed a failure and so the area became part of the non-metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire in 1974.
