Shippea Hill station in Cambridgeshire. The request-only stop was, until recently the least used station in Britain. In latter years it has become more popular as migrant workers commute from the villages surrounding the Ely rail terminus to the 07.17 train for the nine minute ride to the packhouses of the fens which surround the towns of Soham and Mildenhall.

New Roots, Old Soil

Graffiti on a disused agricultural building near Lolworth, Cambridgeshire. The structure, known as the Conington Barn was originally built by the route of the Via Devana - the Roman road which skirted the undrained Fens. The road subsequently became the A14. The barn enjoyed a secret life in the latter years of the 20th Century as a resting place for hitch-hikers going North until the A14 became dualled and traffic speeds increased to the extent that it became impractical for vehicles to stop. After that it became a popular canvas for graffiti artists who were assured of an audience of tens of thousands of passing motorists daily.

The barn was demolished as part of the A14 widening project in 2018.
