The Railway Station, Histon: Building Recording & Survey

Abstract

The buildings comprising Histon Station lie at the southern end of the village about 2.5 miles north of central Cambridge. At the time of writing the station buildings are scheduled to be demolished under the Cambridge Guided Busway Order as part of the construction of the Cambridge to St. Ives Guided Busway. The new busway will run largely on the route of the former railway line. This survey is part of the heritage recording programme being carried out on the whole of the old railway line by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit commissioned by Edmund Nuttall Ltd. on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council.
