URPoint Details
The original name for Three Holes was Wadingstow. In 1609, an order was made by a Session of Sewers of Ely for a new bridge, to include three arches, each eight foot broad with three sufficient doors to shut in times of necessity and want of water for the navigation through the town of Well (now Upwell). This is clearly the origin of the Three holes bridge’ which gave the village its name.
