Bronze Age artefacts found at a Fenland farm dubbed ‘Britain’s Pompeii’ could go on display at a heritage centre in Whittlesey.

Discoveries at Must Farm, Whittlesey – which included a 3,000-year-old wheel and wooden boxes – could be shown to the public after councillors from Whittlesey Town Council and Fenland District Council met to discuss the future of the artefacts.

Mayor of Whittlesey, Councillor Alex Miscandlon and councillors David Mason and Eamonn Dorling met with chief executive of Peterborough and Cambridgeshire County Councils, Gilian Beasley and members of Historic England and the Cambridge Archaeological Society earlier this month and a new site – away from Must Farm – was one of the ideas raised.

The proposed site would be built on the A605 but away from Flag Fen as councillors believe the dig site does not have suitable access.

Councillors also plan on applying for National Heritage funding by the end of year so the centre can be built as soon as possible.

The town council is now looking into suitable sites for the site, which they believe is “of regional and national interest” and “vital to the prosperity” of the town.
