Frontage, Cambridge station
Frontage, Cambridge station I am sure that when Cambridge station opened in 1845 its long classical façade and porte-cochère (crudely infilled during the 20th century as seen here) it seemed a large and substantial building. Today it is very similar to this 1981 view apart from the removal of the slats to be replaced by glazing but the building is now dwarfed by the huge developments around it. Designed by Sancton Wood and Francis Thompson the station is now Grade II listed. Notice the bikes, including a Raleigh Chopper leaning against the front of the station, being holiday time I suspect that they did not belong to students. Also, spot the 1973 Peterborough registered brown Audi 80 at the front of the station that was last on the road in early 1989. Of note are the coats of arms that adorn the frontage located between the arches. Carved and painted in relief twenty-nine were installed when the station was built. They are the coats of arms of various local noteworthy people, the colleges and one of the City of Cambridge itself. Keywords: Frontage Cambridge station
