This postcard is of Fulbourn Station, circa 1910. The photograph has been digitally edited to remove the worst stain marks from the sky, but not elsewhere.

600

The postcard was sold by "Knights Stores"

The rear of the postcard has been damaged slightly by being stuck into an album and then removed. The postmark reads "Fulbourn FE17", so February the 17th. But the area where the year should be has been removed. The stamp is a green Half-Penny showing Edward VII, which would place the photograph at 1910 or earlier.

The photograph is taken from the West of the station looking towards the East. The station building to the North of the tracks no longer exists, its current location is a car park for the industrial estate. The remains of the platforms are still visible on the other side of the current road, next to the S & B Herba foods site.
