An hotel is being built on the former car park (which was Cambridge engine shed years before) and in due course the station square at the end of Station Road will be entirely enclosed.
This grassy triangle at the corner of Tenison and Lyndewode Roads was once home to a cannon, a relic from the Boer War, and was known as Cannon's Green.
The gun was removed in 1940 for war scrap. BBC Radiio Cambridgeshire reported on 5 January 2017 that a campaign had been set up to replace it with a replica (or even to restore the original if it had managed to escape melting down).
