In about 1812 a windmill was built to the east of Trumpington Road (on the north side of Long Road near the Long Road/Trumpington Road junction). It ceased working in 1887 and was then sold to John Piele, Master of Christ’s College. When he failed to find a tenant he had it pulled down. Photo by Ralph Lord which won a contemporary photographic competition.
