IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Pretoria Road, CAMBRIDGE, CB4 1HE

The name, and that of nearby Pretoria Road, indicates the building date.

Chesterton, north of the river, is one of Cambridge's Victorian inner suburbs. Ferry Path runs from the river to Chesterton Road.

The crane is on the Clare College St Regis site between Chesterton Road and Hamilton Road, where new graduate accommodation is being built. To the right of the crane and next to the white Volkswagen is a pale green sewer vent pipe - not as tall as some in the city.

The stench vent pole in this residential street has retained most of its light green paint but has lost its corona finial at the top which would have assisted the diffusion of sewer gases. For a wider view see John Sutton's Image Stinkpipes and Sewers of Cambridge http://blog.m0tei.co.uk

The name, like that of nearby Kimberley Road, indicates the building date. The cyclist was heading for the bridge over the Cam to Midsummer Common.

A row of traditional houses north of the Cam.

The present boathouse is a Building of Local Interest, and was built in 1928 to replace the previous Victorian structure. The building is angled to make full use of the river frontage. The brick ground floor leads to a rendered first floor and a tiled roof. There is one short chimneystack in the half-hipped roof. The gable end of the building has College symbols on the render, including the crest and crossed keys. Beneath this section is a large small-paned casement window and under this are the dates 1828 and 1928. On the small side extension there is the date 1992.

Under the half-hipped roof is another large window and an entrance door which leads onto a balcony with a timber balustrade. This in turn leads to timber steps down to the ground floor. There is a flagpole attached to the balcony, and a black timber band between the two floors. The warm-coloured ground floor bricks have a band of black at the base, painted to the same height across the sloping site. There are two sets of double doors, two single doors and one window. The concrete lintels over the doors and window have been picked out in white paint as a decorative feature.
