The Chaucer Road and Latham Road area is
bounded by Trumpington Road to the east,
Coe Fen and the Vicar's Brook to the north
east, the River Cam to the north west and
River Farm to the west.

I have drawn extensively on information in
Rus In Urbe. Chaucer Road and Latham
Road: the History of Two Rural Roads in
Cambridge
, by Jane Renfrew, Magnus
Renfrew and John Rose, published by the
Southacre, Latham and Chaucer Residents'
Association (SOLACHRA) in 1996. This is
a valuable source about the development of
the area (full details in the
bibliography). For
more information, contact the SOLACHRA
Secretary,
Ian Gaseltine.
The Chaucer Road and Latham Road area is in the northern part of
Trumpington. This history of the area is based on a presentation given at
the
On The Street Where You Live meeting, 13 March 2008. It is divided
into three pages:
