Lensfield Road

It continues as Gonville Place to the northeast past Parker's Piece, a large grassy area with footpaths.

[citation needed] On the south side of the road are the Scott Polar Research Institute, St Alban's Primary School and the University of Cambridge's Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry.

[citation needed] The St Andrew's Street branch of Hobson's Conduit was added in 1631, providing a water supply for the eastern part of the city.

It flowed from the conduit east along Lensfield Road, then north along Regent Terrace, and on to St Andrew's Street in the centre of the city.

[4] A major fire in 1849 meant that a new fountain for the Market Place branch of Hobson's Conduit was erected in 1855.
