Car Dyke at Waterbeach
Part of a Roman canal system. This section would have linked the rivers Cam and Great Ouse, but further north the Car Dyke extended to Lincoln, while other canals may have extended the system as far as York. Picture taken from the Waterbeach end looking towards the railway and the Cam.
Waterbeach Baptist Church
A barn-like brick structure typical of Victorian non-conformist churches. (Someone will tell me if there's a more accurate architectural term for this style.) Known as Spurgeon's Chapel, the Victorian Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon preached here on a number of occasions. Originally the windows to the right and left of the doorway ran the whole height of the wall and were not bricked up in the middle. (Thanks to a site user for the extra information.)
Milton cemetery
Presumably an overflow for the churchyard in the village (see TL4862 : Milton, All Saints).
Landbeach and Milton Baptist Church
A smaller version of its counterpart in Waterbeach (TL4965 : Waterbeach Baptist Church), and built in 1851. The Baptist church seems to have quite a strong presence in the villages around Cambridge.
Bungalows in Landbeach
A long line of neat bungalows on the road between Landbeach and Waterbeach.
Disused garden centre by the A10
This looks a bit run-down, but it's being offered to let and there's a healthy crop of Christmas trees growing in an adjacent field, so maybe it'll be revived.
Milton bypass
The A10 bypass, built in the late 1970s, curves away from the old straight road into Milton village. The trees alongside it are just beginning to change colour.
Beach Lode, Landbeach
The building is New Farm, the road is Green End, and the ditch is Beach Lode. The road crosses the ditch by the 'sharp bend' sign in the distance. Beach Lode is medieval or earlier and was once used by goods barges.
Sign at entrance to Emmaus, Landbeach
Emmaus is a charity that helps formerly homeless people to earn a living by repairing and selling donated items. The Cambridge site (actually in Green End, Landbeach, next to the A10) opened in 1992 and was the first Emmaus site in the UK.
Car Dyke
With my back to the main feature clearly seen in the landscape, the Roman canal disappears into the modern day development of the village.
Farmland near Punch Farm, Landbeach
Taken from just off the byway that follows the course of an old Roman road, just north of Cambridge.
Hay Lane, Cottenham, Cambs
an unadopted track with locked gates; view from its junction with Beach Road.
Beach Ditch, between Cottenham and Landbeach, Cambs
The parish boundaries in the fens were mostly fixed only in the 13th century; intercommonable pastures between Cottenham and Landbeach were divided in 1235 when the straight Beach Ditch was dug.
Permissive footpath, Landbeach, Cambs
between Akeman Street Roman Road and Rectory Farm; one of the newly created conservation walks for the enjoyment of hedgerows and field grass margins that are being sympathetically managed to provide habitats for wildlife. See defra Link
