View of the crossroads from Longstanton Road. The village pond is visible on the right. R. Warboys wrote The house at the corner of Dry Drayton Road was demolished about 1950. It was then a completely blind corner for anyone coming out of Cambridge Road. The thatched building in Cambridge Road [behind the house at the corner of Dry Drayton Road] was the old Harvest Home public house, before the later Harvest Home, now [Crossways House], was built.
Longstanton Road Garage after it burnt down in the 1950s. R. Warboys wrote: This garage was started by Mr J. Moore, son of Mr G. Moore, the grocer, and he later prospered and built up an engineering business in Histon Road, Cambridge. The photograph shows this garage burnt down in the 1950s.
