Station Road, Longstanton
This is the approach to Longstanton from the north, just after leaving the new by-pass (B1050), and by the entrance to Cambridge Golf Club. The station which Station Road was named after has long gone. Long Stanton station was just to the north of here away from the village. It was on the Cambridge to March line and closed on 5th October 1970 - see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l/long_stanton/ The Cambridge Guided Busway now follows the route at Longstanton - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridgeshire_Guided_Busway

The village pump
Huge changes around this area. Originally the back drop was Striplands farm, this has all been demolished and is being replaced by a large housing development. Potential purchasers may be put off by the lack of mains water !!

Longstanton pump
This is actually one of two pumps in the village, and is further than would be expected from the centre of the village. I wondered if it had been moved, but old OS maps show there has certainly been a pump at this location since at least 1900. The small shield on the front of the pump below the spout has the inscription "Bamford's frost protected lift pump". This is the firm that is now better known for bright yellow JCB (J C Bamford) excavators. Listed Grade II.
