NIAB Farmland, Cambridge
The area bounded by the A14, Huntingdon Road and
Histon Road used to be mostly farmland owned by
NIAB until it was sold for
development as a housing estate to be called
Darwin Green.
(See also the Cambridge City Council webpage on
Darwin
Green, and the Histon and Impington Parish Council
webpage.)
These pictures record its last months as an
active research farm, and were all taken from a property on Tavistock
Road.
