:''See also Silver Street (disambiguation).'' Silver Street is located in the southwest of central Cambridge, England.〔(Silver Street ), Cambridge City Council, England.〕〔(Silver Street ), (Cambridge Online ).〕 It links Queen's Road to the west with Trumpington Street to the east. The road continues west out of central Cambridge as Sidgwick Avenue. At the southwestern end to the south is Darwin College. Halfway along to the north where the street straddles the River Cam on the Silver Street Bridge (built in 1958) is Queens' College. At the eastern end to the north fronting onto Trumpington Street is St Catharine's College. To the north are The Backs along the river, providing one of the best views in Cambridge of the backs of some of the most historic and prestigious Cambridge University colleges. To the south, on the east side of the Cam, is the Silver Street/Mill Lane Site, one of the University of Cambridge sites.〔(University of Cambridge Official Map — Silver Street/Mill Lane Site ).〕 This is bounded by Silver Street to the north, Trumpington Street to the east, Little St Mary' Lane to the south, and Granta Place / Laundress Lane on the Cam to the west. Mill Lane runs east–west through the middle of the site. Various University departments, other University facilities, and the University Centre,〔(University Centre, Cambridge ).〕 are located here. Since 2003, access to motor vehicles without an appropriate transponder has been controlled by rising bollards. It allows eastward traffic flow from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and westward flow from 4 p.m. to 12 midnight, daily.〔http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/disability/guide/city/driving.html〕 == Notable former residents == Gwen Raverat (1885–1957, née Darwin, granddaughter of the naturalist Charles Darwin) was a wood engraver, artist, and illustrator, who co-founded the Society of Wood Engravers.
