Junction 32 of the A14
Although the negative has somewhat deteriorated, this is the scene before any work took place on the A14. The area has changed beyond all recognition. The view is looking towards Histon from near the old Arbury Road Junction with the old route of the B1049. No parts of this road are still in use as a main road, but it is is still there with access through a gate.. The A14 flyovers will be built in the fenced off field to the right which at the time contained sheep. The new current route of the B1049 will be built to the right of the picture running down from the flyovers. The only landmark which is still in place today is the house to the right of the large conifer in the middle of the picture which is in Cambridge Road Impington, but now the other side of the dual carriageway. Picture dated 22nd February 1976.
