In "The Buildings of England: Cambridgeshire", the architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner, describes the row of buildings on the street known as North Brink (above) as "one of the most perfect Georgian streets of England". He might have added, "and one of the least well known". The buildings are not entirely Georgian - a few from the Victorian period are there too - and they don't have the variety within uniformity that can be seen in, say, Bath or Stamford. And that may be where the pleasure of this street lies, in the marked difference between each building and its neighbour. For the photographer there are only two ways to photograph the whole street - from one end or the other, and I prefer the classic view from the bridge with the River Nene on the left of the composition.
