Trumpington Road

Hobson's Conduit runs along the northern part of Trumpington Road. This used to be an important water supply for Cambridge. A major fire in 1849 meant that a new fountain for the Market Place branch of Hobson's Conduit was erected in 1855. The previous structure was moved to the corner of Trumpington Road and Lensfield Road in 1856 as a monument to Thomas Hobson.
