Open Cambridge 2014

Open Cambridge is an annual event when normally private buildings and gardens are open to the public.
This is the Senior Combination Room at Sidney Sussex College, where the tour was given by the Head Porter.

The kitchen garden in the Fellows' Garden, Trinity College

The dining hall in Westminster College, one of Cambridge's less well-known Colleges and well worth a visit

A corner of what was the private dining room for the College President

View from the College of the junction of Queens' Road and Madingley Road.  When the College was built in 1899 it was on a leafy lane on the outskirts of the city; very different now!  The windows may be old but they made a very effective sound barrier.

The library

You don't get plumbing like this nowadays!

One of a series of 12 stained glass windows in the Chapel.  My photo doesn't do it justice.
