Lord's Bridge railway station
Lord's Bridge was a railway station on the Varsity Line which ran between Oxford and Cambridge. Situated in the north of the parish of Harlton on the western outskirts of Cambridge, it was the penultimate station before the line's eastern terminus at Cambridge. The station opened in 1862 and closed more than a century later in 1968. It is now the home to the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory's rail-mounted radio-telescopes.
== History ==
As with the neighbouring Old North Road station, Lord's Bridge was built in open country. It was principally a stop for the local Lord of the Manor.〔(Bedford & Cambridge Railway. )〕 The station's platforms were lengthened on 17 July 1907 to accommodate the longer trains running on the line.
The station was equipped with a LNWR type 4 signal box from which a key could be obtained to unlock the Toft & Kingston siding to the west which handled sugar beet and hay traffic.〔Simpson, B., p. 123.〕 The traffic through Lord's Bridge was to change during the Second World War when a large ammunition store was built up at the station which brought many new workings to the line including an ex-Midland 2F tank locomotive which was kept permanently there for the purposes of shunting each train into the depot as they arrived and preparing the empties for return.〔Simpson, B., p. 83.〕
