Where is chesterton sidings

Quarrying of the river terrace gravels in the area has brought to light Palaeolithic hand axes and there is evidence of Upper Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic worked flint from the alluvial flats on the other side of the River Cam. Although situated on the margins of settlement today this was not necessarily always the case as there is evidence of Late Iron Age and Roman settlement in close proximity.

There is also the possibility of Late Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon burials being present in the southern part of the Site. The Site is thought to have been fields from the Medieval period up until the mid 19thcentury when the railway was built and subsequently its sidings.

Almost all the sidings went out of use in the late s and the Site is now largely derelict. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. This category only includes cookies that ensures basic functionalities and security features of the website.
