Caption For Netherbury, The Village 1912

The chapel houses a memorial to one of its more famous alumni, John Addenbrooke, whose bequest founded the county hospital.

Caption For Fulbourn, High Street 1952

Peering just around the corner of the house on the right is a petrol pump. This was quite acceptable in the 1950s perhaps, but is not legal now.

The only real change has been the construction of the headmaster's house to the right hand side of this view.

Caption For Clapham, Upper Falls 1900

Nearby is Gaping Gill, which has an underground chamber large enough to house a cathedral.

Caption For Newbury, Northbrook Street C1960
