TL4458 : Caröe's Bridge, Pembroke College

taken 10 years ago, near to Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England

Caröe's Bridge, Pembroke College
Caröe's Bridge, Pembroke College
Pembroke College is on the right hand side of the street and the New Museum Site, a complex of University laboratories and science buildings, is on the left.
Because of a steady increase in student numbers at the beginning of the twentieth century expansion of the College was needed. The architect W.D. Caröe was commissioned to design two buildings, the first was the Pitt Building (right centre of photograph with the linked chimneys) and the second was an extension of New Court (in the foreground next to the red brick building). Caröe’s final task was to link his two buildings by an arched stone screen along Pembroke Street. Besides adding a decorative Baroque styled feature it allowed students to cross the Master's forecourt at first-floor level from the Pitt Building to New Court without leaving the College.
