Station Road: railway station

Cambridge, England: Station Road: railway station (Sancton Wood)
(maps showing location: Google Streetmap Multimap )
Date photograph taken: 07 May 2000
Date built: 1845
Architect: Sancton Wood

The university wanted the train station far from the university, so it was inconveniently located miles away, and the city has naturally grown up around it. Prices for houses near the station are high because many people commute to London to work.

Francis Thompson is sometimes stated to be the architect, rather than Sancton Wood.

Extensions to the north and south of the original building were added in 1863.
