Some residents of Cambridge, England, are so fond of their local cattle that only Latin can do justice to their feelings. “It gives a sense of rus in urbe, which means rusticity in town,” mused Alex Perkins, a @cambridgeuniversity librarian, as a dark red steer meandered across his evening commute. About 120 cattle roam amid the city parks and Gothic towers of this medieval university town and, stepping over the cow pies, the human residents profess an improbable pride in their bovine neighbors. “Seeing a cow gives a kind of rural feeling, the momentary illusion of being out in the country,” added Alex. “Parks do that to a certain extent, too, of course. But cows do it better.” The earliest settlers in what is now Cambridge built on a kind of gravelly island in a marshland. In areas too low and soggy for construction or farming, they set aside fields for shared use by locals, known as commoners, to graze livestock. Cattle grazed similar commons in towns across England, including in London. But such commons began to come under siege about 400 years ago, as the gentry pushed to enclose more land into private properties. In London and other towns, urbanization and industrialization eventually squeezed out the cattle. But in Cambridge, the cows held their ground. @andrew_testa took this photo.
