The Cottenham Lode is created from a pond in the village of Histon . First it flows in a large left-hand arc east of Rampton and west of Cottenham past, all in all north, before it bends north of Cottenham to the northeast. From there the Cottenham Lode flows more or less straight to the northwest until it finally joins the Great Ouse about two miles northeast of Cottenham . On its course, the Cottenham Lode takes on several drainage canals as well as the Beck Brook . The straight course north of Cottenham is also known as the New Cut .
history
The origin of the Cottenham Lode goes back to Roman times. He was then part of the Car Dykes , which connected Cambridge with Lincoln . In the post-1900 period, some Roman pottery was found in the Lode.
