Standing proudly on Station Road, Cambridge, this grand structure exudes elegance and charm. As we delve into the scene captured by Historic England's lens, our eyes are drawn to the flurry of activity surrounding the station. Passengers eagerly await their trains while others bid farewell to loved ones with heartfelt embraces. The platform is abuzz with anticipation as steam billows from locomotives ready for departure. The photograph also offers a glimpse into an era when cars shared space with trains at this vibrant transport junction. Vintage automobiles line up alongside horse-drawn carriages, creating a fascinating contrast between old and new modes of travel.
