Outwell in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The following paragraph from the Geography section of the article contradicts itself:

"The village and parish of Outwell is on the western edge of the county of Norfolk which borders Cambridgeshire. Until 1990 Outwell parish was split with half in Norfolk and half in Cambridgeshire with the boundary falling along the old course of the River Nene. The boundary also cut straight through the middle of the village. In 1935 the part of Outwell which was in Cambridgeshire was reduced in size to enlarge the nearby village of Emneth. Outwell parish today is part of the King's Lynn and West Norfolk local government district."

Did the Cambridgeshire part of the parish transfer to Norfolk in 1935 or 1990? Or did it happen earlier as found in other sources such as A Vision of Britain through Time? References to before and after maps would help. Oldontarian (talk) 11:35, 5 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
