Cambridge Station, 1845. Creator: Unknown
Cambridge Station, 1845. The railway terminus at Cambridge on the newly opened line from London to Cambridge and Ely. The train reached the station at Cambridge at half-past eleven o clock, having passed over fifty-seven and a quarter miles in two hours and forty minutes, the rate of speed, allowing for stoppages, being more than twenty- eight miles an hour!. The station...is a light and elegant structure, yet sufficiently substantial for all the purposes for which it is intended. There are within, commodious waiting-rooms, offices, places for luggage; and, in a word, all that is requisite for such an edifice...The front of the building is supported by fifteen arches. The style of the architecture is Italian. The general effect is exceedingly chaste and appropriate.
