Built in 1852 for the Great Northern Railway, with later additions. The description in the Buildings of England: London, 4: North (1998), p.367 suggests that the curving section on the left is the original part, and may have been designed by Lewis Cubitt. Not listed.

The fog lamps were an after-market addition.

Looking E from Red Meadow Hill with the tower of St John's College chapel on the left and the tower of the cycle bridge at the railway station on the far right.

Looking SE from Red Meadow Hill with the spire and tower of the Roman Catholic church on the left and recently built flats near the railway station on the right.

A peaceful interlude on a wet and windy day as the tail end of Hurricane Bertha passed over England.

Erected in 1921, according to www.roll-of-honour.com/Cambridgeshire/CambridgeGasCompany... , which gives details of the men commemorated. A ball and cross have been lost from the top since the photograph on that page was taken in 2010. The design of the upper parts may perhaps have been inspired by Hobson's Conduit , although the top of the memorial is octagonal whereas the conduit head is hexagonal.

According to the English Heritage listing , this wing of the school was built c.1920, but a more detailed history of the school says that the wing was added in 1911 (a date confirmed by www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66716 ), with the clock added as a war memorial in 1919. The inclusion of the "1919" date, marking the year of the Versailles Treaty (rather than 1918, the year of the armistice), is interesting.
