He goes on to inform the Master that he had seen Mr Pemberton about the N & E Railway. The price asked for on behalf of the College for the land was £500 per acre but they considered this too high and offered £300 per acre. They had put the money at the rate of £500 per acre into a bank for the College subject to a deduction being made once a fair price had been agreed. Mr Pemberton had objected to this on the grounds the College was taking the risk with the money and it wasn't being invested and earning interest. He requested the money be paid to the Accountant General or the Bank of England which had been done

15 February 1845 - letter from Mr Woolley (Railway Company) to Christopher Pemberton (solicitor for the College). In the letter he objects most strongly to accusations that the Railway Company (i.e. him acting as their agent) had threatened the College with a jury to settle the dispute over the value of the land. He says that he had done everything asked of him by Mr Truslove (acting for the College) and had ensured that there would be no frontage of the station on Hills Road but it would all be on Station Road which would increase the value of the College Estate. After having done everything he could for the College he was then not prepared to responsibility for delaying the planned opening next July or for "wantonly abusing the confidence reposed in me by consenting to pay at the rate demanded (£500 per acre). He offers to accept any valuation of the land put forward by an independent valuer

18 February 1845 - letter from Christopher Pemberton to Mr Woolley. He acknowledges that the matter is urgent for the Company but says that the Master (William French) was very unwell and had gone to the Isle of Wight and his medical man had strongly advised him that he should not attend to any business. Matters had been further complicated by the death of the President during the Master's absence. Mr Pemberton suggests that the College may accept £350 per acre if the Railway Company was to offer that price

18 February 1845 - letter from Christopher Pemberton to Dr French. He explains the current situation and the reasons behind the Railway Companies valuation of £300 per acre and his suggestion of £350 per acre. He also outlines the situation with regard to whether some land may be outside the limits laid down by the Parliamentary Act. He also says that Mr Truslove (appointed to act in this matter on behalf of the College) is very unwell and confined to bed.

He also wanted to buy a curved piece of land (1 rood, 29 poles) next to the Newmarket Railway as the lines of rails were too contracted at that point for safe working.

28 August 1862 - Letter from Francis, Webster & Riches to Robert Sinclair (Engineers Office) saying that Jesus College had no objection to the sale of 1 rood and 30 poles of land adjacent to the railway bridge, Hills Road.

Title to the land in the Station Road area stems from the Barnwell Inclosure Award 1808-1809.

In 1846 the College agreed to sell land to the Eastern Counties Railway Company for a station and for the approved road.
The conveyance was signed in 1850 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1850].

The College then gave notice to its agricultural tenants and started to let the land to developers. The occupiers in 1847 were Mr Dixon, Mr Gotobed (most of his land was sold to the Great Eastern Railway Co in 1874) and Mr George Bullen (who farmed the land on the south side of Station Road).

Land near the station was leased to Robert Sayle on 7 March 1859 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1859]
This lease was determined on 22 March 1873 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1873] and the land sold to the Great Eastern Railway Company.

On 4 June 1874 Arthur John Gray was granted a lease of the first of his houses 'Salisbury Villa' built on the north side of Station Road [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1874]
This lease included land afterwards compulsorily purchased by the Cambridge Improvement Commissioners to make Tenison Road.

6 May 1876 Arthur John Gray surrendered to the College part of Gotobed's allotment in order that the College might sell it to the Great Eastern Railway Company [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1876/1].

On 24 December 1888 Arthur John Gray renewed his lease of 1, 2, and 3 Salisbury Villas [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1888]
When the lease was renewed it was found that Gray still held a square piece of land at the rear of the gardens of his houses, separate from them, with a frontage to the proposed new Tenison Road of 400 feet.

On 11 December 1885 the Notice of proposed purchase of land for the roadway under the Public Health Act 1875 was issued
The conveyance was signed on 9 July 1889.

1 November 1888 the College agreed with Arthur John Gray to pay him an annuity in the form of a remission of rent. Gray thereby surrendered 3150 square yards of land for the road.

On 14 March 1894 Gray surrendered to the College two pieces of land at the back of his houses Salisbury Villas and Arundel Villas. The first portion was in a lease dated 1874 and the second in a lease of Arundel Villas dated 1 November 1882. This land was then leased to developers to build houses facing Tenison Road and Tenison Avenue. This left Gray with 200 feet frontage on Tenison Road (the site of St Colette's School).

The College planned Tenison Avenue, leasing sites to builders, so that it was left with a piece of land extending as far as the Highsett houses. Mr Charles Armstrong, builder of some of the Tenison Avenue houses, took this on a yearly agreement in 1897 [JCAD/3/CAM/STA/GEN/1/1897].
