The Hump

A Memory of Stamford.

Just on the other side of the bridge you can see the footpath leading up and over a mound. This mound was built up in preparation for a projected relief road from the Midland Railway station to the Sheepmarket (on the other side of the Meadows). I remember playing around this hump - rolling down the side of it, and running through the pipe which went through the middle of it (where you could have a wonderful time playing with the echo!). The hump was removed in the 1960s after the A1 bypass was opened, and the whole "inner relief road" idea was, thankfully, scrapped!
