Ferry Meadows Country Park The Romans arrived in the first century (43AD), quickly establishing a fort overlooking the river, where Thorpe Wood Golf Course now is. Within a year or two of their arrival, the Romans built Ermine Street - the Roman A1 from London to York. On the south bank, where it crossed the River Nene south of Castor the Romans established the town of Durobrivae 'The bridge by the fort' and later a pottery industry and suburbs developed on the north bank.

Ferry Meadows Country Park Present residents of Peterborough are only the latest in a long line of residents of the lower end of the Nene Valley, much of which is now Nene Park. A surprising number of remains of their predecessors presence are still visible. A stone axe probably made in the Lake District and brought to Peterborough through trade or exchange is a relic of occupation by the first farming communities about 5,000 years ago. Other archaeological remains found in Ferry Meadows indicate that this area was settled and farmed, and that pottery was being made here by about 1600 BC. By then, at least, patches had been cleared from the forest which became established in the valley after the tumultuous river flows at the end of the ice age finished about ten thousand years ago.
