Postcard of Fulbourn Station

The postcard (left) is of Fulbourn Station, circa 1910. To the right is photograph from a similar angle taken in 2022.

The photograph is taken from the West of the station (with Cambridge behind) looking towards the East (towards Newmarket). The station building to the North of the tracks (west of the road) no longer exists, its current location is a car park for the industrial estate. The remains of the platforms are still visible on the East side of the current road, next to the S & B Herba foods factory which has since been built. The people in the postcard are standing on the existing road, where some gates can be seen. On first sight there appears to be a pedestrian crossing closer to the camera, however I believe this is some kind of cover for the controls coming from the signal tower.

The scan of the postcard has been digitally edited to remove the worst stain marks from the sky, but not elsewhere.

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.
