Cambridge to Newmarket

Fulbourne looking West. Centre is the station building, just to its left in the distance is the goods shed. The road crossing, as seems common, separates the buildings from the platform. There was a...

Fulbourne (which the GER always spelt with a trailing "e") looking East. To the extreme right are the remains of the two goods sidings. On the extreme left would have been the siding for the coal...
