Been posting all these pictures of Hoar Cross, calling it All Saints- in fact it’s dedication is the Holy Angels
English
@zarahandley Tissington is great. I think i took a couple hundred photos of the wells and the church but only posted pictures of the chickens ha
English
@SandyDeBorn Thank you for confirming. Larry also corrected me on the ownership, I hadn't clocked on to the change, thank you!
English
@barry_wizard Well spotted. It is indeed a Gormley, installed there last year when the site was opened after several years of building work by its new owners, Pembroke College. It’s occasionally open ot the public by the small gate entrance on Trumpington Road
English
Looking past the gates of Peterhouse College, what is that by the window?

@ludgatelarry Thank you! I do get confused even though I pass them all semi regularly!
English
@barry_wizard That's Pembroke, not Peterhouse. The entire block between Trumpington Street, Mill Lane and Little St Mary's Lane, excluding the Mill pub (sadly!) and the grad centre, was acquired by Pembroke thanks to the generous legacy of alumnus Ray Dolby.

The tulips at Trinity College, the building beyond the trees is the library designed by Christopher Wren

@mjsimpsonfilms @DrFrancisYoung Yes. Getting rebuilt with student accommodation over, from what I understand

@DrFrancisYoung Is that the one across the road from Downing?

Closing the old Cambridge Pizza Hut was bad enough, now they're DEMOLISHING it 😭🍕

@AnthonyGri10669 Nice! Sat and watched fish for a while, it's a lovely spot

@barry_wizard My brother had his rooms on that very staircase!

Some fantastic brick details to this porch, door just visible beyond.

@CathyRLowe @StroudStory Plenty of torches, but finding one in working order might be tricky! Thanks for the tip!
English
@barry_wizard @StroudStory That's terrific news, I am glad. Thanks for letting me know. Take a torch.
English
Many candidates for #AdoorableThursday, in Cambridge. On a walking tour run by the David Parr House, I visited parts of Cambridge hitherto unexplored.
Orchard Street was one of them. Range of 13 cottage tenements c 1825. 1 storey with attics; gault brick with mansard tile roof.
English
View through the Erpingham Gate in Norwich, peeping into the cathedral close. Happy #thursgate #adoorableThursday

@CathyRLowe @Fictionwitch Similar (but a little different) towards the botanical gardens: Fitzwilliam St. a pleasant mix of 3/4 storey town houses, similar again on Bateman St - Plenty of low rise, relatively high density housing examples around
English
@Fictionwitch These were artisan dwellings; Cambridge is an historic treasure trove of terraced housing.
English
And an extremely replicable model for the massive new developments around Cambridge.

Also Malcolm Street, new to me. It is more formal in appearance & close by All Saints, Cambridge. Apparently named after a former benefactor to the nunnery of St Radegund, Malcolm IV, King of Scotland. 5 separate blocks of almost identical houses c 1842, in grey gault brick.
English
I always thought the Green Dragon sign lackluster, so I was most pleased to find this hidden around the back

@CathyRLowe @StroudStory I just checked the website and they now have open days listed - I only saw events listed before - beyond excited!
English
@barry_wizard @StroudStory It shouldn't "always be locked" in my opinion - this is quite wrong.
It was very dark inside & the Douglas Strachan window was my favourite feature.
Jesus College chapel (just over the road) was thrilling, and apparently, easy to access.
English
@CathyRLowe @StroudStory I look forward to seeing the photos, it's always locked!
English
@barry_wizard @StroudStory Yes, it was an opportunity that was too good to let slip, especially as it included a session inside All Saints, Jesus Lane, which I have heard can be difficult to access.
I hope they run the tour again.
English
@todbooklady @Pericles494BC It certainly is a beautiful part of town!
English
@barry_wizard @Pericles494BC Imagine living somewhere so beautiful 🩷

An old favourite, refurbished just the other year. The Master's Lodge, Peterhouse, Cambridge

@markrwilliamson I've not read it yet but if it's anything like the other schemes it would be an autonomous vehicle with a safety driver
So a bus then?
English
Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, gets government cash for autonomous vehicle trial from Whittlesford station.
‘A dedicated land corridor for the autonomous vehicles would make it easier for workers to get to the site’
So a road then?
