I lived in Cambridge then and stalked this shot for months. There were always cars and lorrys parked in the way. Finally, one morning the street was clear and as an added bonus, the cherry was in full bloom. My quintessentially English scene. Note that one of the phone boxes was even in use in those days! This is St. Mary the Great Church (known as Great St. Mary's or GSM) taken from near the market square.
Shot on Fuji Velvia 100 film with my whizzy Canon camera that had eye-controlled autofocus (the EOS Elan IIe).

The tower on the right is part of the Pembroke College Auditorium and the lower one to the left is situated on the Pitt building. But the rest of the buildings are part of Peterhouse. It really is just a stone'e throw between the sights of this town.
The shot is taken from Coe Fen, next to the river Cam.

The Leper Chapel in Cambridge, also known as the Leper Chapel of St Mary Magdalene, is a chapel on the east side of Cambridge, England, off Newmarket Road close to the railway crossing at Barnwell Junction. It dates from about 1125.
The chapel was part of the buildings of a leper hospital that stood a little beyond the outskirts of the city on the road to Bury St Edmunds. Parts of the east wall are original, but most of the rest of the chapel was rebuilt in the 13th century. It still retains many Romanesque features.
In 1199 the chapel was given royal dispensation by King John to hold a three-day fair in order to raise money to support the lepers. Starting in 1211, the fair took place around the Feast of the Holy Cross (14 September) on Stourbridge Common which lies a little way behind the chapel and continues down to the River Cam.
Lamp on the Cambridge pub in Mullberry Street. It's an attractive area with a mix of modern and Georgian buildings. In another life I used to visit this pub.

The Bridge of Sighs in Cambridge is a covered bridge at St John's College, Cambridge University. It was built in 1831 and crosses the River Cam between the college's Third Court and New Court. The architect was Henry Hutchinson. It is named after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, although they have little architecturally in common beyond the fact that they are both covered. The bridge, a Grade I listed building, is one of Cambridge's main tourist attractions and Queen Victoria is said to have loved it more than any other spot in the city.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED AND SO MUCH MORE INTRESTING THAN JUST GIVING A FAVE

This photo was taken in February, and was just to show Cambridge before the tourists came in their hoards. Sadly it's now empty due to Coronavirus! Take care all.
A punt is a long wooden boat with a flat bottom. They were initially used by fishermen and traders to transport cargo and goods along the River Thames. At around the turn of the 20th century, they were adopted as a pleasure craft in English towns such as Cambridge.
