TL4657 : Cambridge Station and Spiller's Mill

taken 17 years ago, near to Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

Cambridge Station and Spiller's Mill
Cambridge Station and Spiller's Mill
A dullish photo taken three years ago has gained a little historical interest since Spiller's Mill - intended to become a cultural centre as part of the ambitious CB1 development west of the station - was largely destroyed by fire in the early hours of 27 March 2010. For an idea of the state of play at the end of March 2010, and how much of the building collapsed, see Link Link and others nearby. This picture, taken from Hills Road railway bridge, also shows, in the foreground, the edge of what was once the Cattle Market and is now the Cambridge Leisure complex, and, to the left of the train, disused sidings which have now given way to the unfinished track of the long-delayed and vastly over-budget guided-bus malarkey.
