  • Summary of Silver Street Area Problems
    Summary of Silver Street area problems December 2001 Pembroke Street / Mill Lane junction · Pembroke Street a primary route for cyclists (between Pembroke Street and Mill Lane in both directions) · Main cycle demands at this junction are - straight across (between Pembroke Street and Mill Lane in both directions) - along Trumpington Street in both directions, and - the right turn from Pembroke Street into Trumpington Street (towards King's Parade and Silver Street) · We think it is unlikely a solution could be found which did not require traffic lights. · Traffic lights have potential to introduce very long delays for cyclists if not given sufficient priority. A change of priorities here (without signals) may advantage motorists and disadvantage cyclists. i.e. giving priority to traffic turning right from Trumpington Street into Pembroke Street will make things worse for cyclists emerging from Pembroke Street. Silver Street / Kings Parade junction · If traffic could still use Silver Street eastbound poor visibility and limited gaps in traffic make Trumpington street to Kings Parade a difficult manoeuvre · Cyclists routinely ignore Give Way when travelling south from kings Parade (partly because gaps in traffic are so rare). · Northbound cyclists waiting to proceed into the northern part of Trumpington Street (towards Kings Parade), who position themselves correctly on their own side of the central white line (where they can see round the corner) are vulnerable to coaches and other long vehicles turning right from Silver Street into Trumpington.

Applicant University of Cambridge SUMMARY The development accords with the Development Plan for the following reasons: -The fabric of the listed buildings would be preserved subject to conditions. RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL 1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION/AREA CONTEXT 1.1 The site is the old Addenbrooke’s hospital (currently occupied by the Judge Business School), Nightingale and Bridget’s Hostels which front onto Tennis Court Road, Keynes House and the curtilage of these buildings. 1.2 The old Addenbrooke’s building is a large Grade II listed building in a prominent position, set back in a formal courtyard bounded by listed railings to Trumpington Street. It is visible from Tennis Court Road, in glimpse views between the hostel buildings and in longer views from Regent Street. 1.3 The old Addenbrooke’s building was constructed as a hospital in 1766 when the first patients were admitted. It has been much extended since, notably in the 1860’s by Matthew Digby Wyatt. Subsequent to the listing, it was converted for the Judge Business School (JBS) by the architect John Outram and opened in 1996 following the relocation of Addenbrookes hospital to the south of the city.

  • Cambridge Information Orientation
    CAMBRIDGE INFORMATION Cambridge is a charming town replete with cobblestone streets and attractive lanes whose profound historical ambiance was the setting of much of the last years of C.S. Lewis’ life. While Oxford resented Lewis’ Christianity and popularity, Cambridge offered the newly created position of Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English to him. In fact, J.R.R. Tolkien was influential in his appointment. Although hesitant at first to leave the Kilns, Warnie, and Joy, Lewis eventually took the position. Each week he commuted between Oxford and Cambridge, sleeping and studying on the train. Lewis grew to love Cambridge deeply. Of his college there, he once wrote: “I think I shall like Magdalene (Cambridge) better than Magdalen (Oxford). It’s a tiny college (a perfect cameo architecturally), and they’re all so old fashioned, and pious, and gentle, and conservative – unlike this leftist, atheist, cynical, hardboiled, huge Magdalen.” After a stay in Cambridge, you will no doubt delight in its many splendours as well. It is smaller and more rustic than Oxford; even if the locals own a car, most prefer to bicycle. Still, one cannot escape the grandeur of King’s College, the magnificence of St. John’s Chapel, and the weight of its intellectual history. In addition to C.S. Lewis, Cambridge was home to Erasmus, John Harvard, Isaac Newton, John Milton, William Wilberforce, Charles Spurgeon, James Dewey Watson, Francis Crick, and many others. ORIENTATION The Romans built the first of the city’s towns along the River Cam. The “straight” roads left by the Romans provide cyclists with some of the best touring routes available, and certain portions of the roads provide a glimpse of the original surface.
