A somewhat eccentric Victorian pair; the corner windows by the front doors strike me as particularly unusual. Described as late Victorian is this description of the recent extension to no. 9, just visible on the far left; definitely in existence by 1887 as they appear on the large scale Ordnance Survey map published in that year.

Viewed from the railway station footbridge.

Mid-C19 pair of houses, of "unusual, careful design" according to the listing . The cast-iron railings in front of the left-hand house and flanking the bridge over the front area are presumably original, although the railings in front of the right-hand house have been replaced.

A Victorian pair, probably built c.1860 (cf. these comments on no. 18, a detached house in very similar style: "The land at 18 Old North Road was purchased in the late 1850’s for £36.00 by a collective of 11 local trades people including schoolmasters, builders, grocers and chemists, and a charity commission was established to the benefit of the Kneesworth Street Congregational Church. Building started 1st March 1860": www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-46294499.html ). Definitely in existence by 1887 as they appear on the large scale Ordnance Survey map published in that year but the lack of horns on the sashes of no.14 and the "Georgian survival" style help to confirm the earlier date.

Looking E. from the W. end of the up platform. Replacement down waiting room under construction by the footbridge steps on the left. Posted for comparison with views of the old station building at www.flickr.com/photos/18578675@N02/12238632403 and www.flickr.com/photos/18578675@N02/12239021306/ .

Presumably contemporary with the vicarage itself, built in 1859 to designs of Richard Reynolds Rowe.

This is the best photograph that I could get without trespassing of a building which is of more historical than architectural or picturesque interest as it was built in 1859, to designs of Richard Reynolds Rowe, to replace an earlier vicarage even though All Saints' church had collapsed in 1766. Fulbourn, like Swaffham Prior , had until then two churches (All Saints and St Vigor's) standing in one churchyard; following the collapse of All Saints, an act of 1775 required the two incumbents to officiate in St Vigor's on alternate weeks (unless they agreed otherwise) and the two benefices were not united until 1876. All Saints' vicarage was then let from 1881 and sold in 1892 with its 7 acres of grounds, becoming known as Field House. [ www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18826 ]
