Pictures

Legacy sets of photographs of railways, Cambridge and other stuff which still linger on various bits of teh interwebs until I get round to cleaning them up. If I had a hamster, this is the page where I’d put a photo of it. Not really very interesting.

Railways

That any general system of conveying passengers would … go at a velocity exceeding ten miles an hour, or thereabouts, is extremely improbable.

Thomas Tredgold, Practical Treatise on Railroads & Carriages, 1825

Cambridge

[Pembroke college crest]

…For Cambridge people rarely smile,
Being urban, squat, and packed with guile…

Rupert Brooke, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester
