Changed forever
A few years ago this view would have been dominated by irrigation machinery at this time of the year. There was always a good view when arriving in Cambridge on the train from London.

What's behind the fence?
New houses!
This part of the site is known as the character area 'Royal Showground' and behind the fence is the sub-character area referred to as "Grand Court". This will be an area of high housing density.

Building work at Clay Farm (Great Kneighton)
Part of the huge Clay Farm development east of Trumpington on the edge of Cambridge. (The grid references are as accurate as I can make them as mapping has not kept pace with construction.)

No houses yet
You can be sure building work is taking place behind the blue fence. At least during the construction phase the developers have gradually allowed public access. If not I would have been guilty of a lot of trespass in an effort to document the changes.
The road has yet (2014) to be named.

Road through new development
House building either side has finally started. The road was laid out a couple of years earlier. No road name visible at this time (2014).
