Lyngby
"Thule" is an L-shaped property at the corner of Sorgenfrivej and Boulevarden. The wing along Boulevarden has two floors and was built in 1873 as accommodation for Lyngby Glassworks staff. In 1905 master builder Fritz Jensen removed the southern end of the building and built a new front house of three floors along what was then Bagsværdvej.

On the opposite corner of Boulevarden Fritz Jensen lived in an even larger villa "Charlottenborg", which is now a kindergarten. From his windows he could look at the gable of the "Thule," which he had fitted with two portrait heads of himself and his wife Sophie Charlotte above the windows on the first floor.

Fritz Jensen also built the red brick buildings "Vigottenborg" in 1904 with one bedroom apartments along Boulevarden behind "Thule". The two properties were predominantly inhabited by workers. The mixed communities are characteristic of Lyngby, as this small "working-class neighborhood" was the neighbor of Lyngby's finest suburban streets on Sorgenfrivej and Rustenborgvej.

On the opposite side of Boulevarden was until 1960 Hotel Rustenborg's large garden. Hotel Rustenborg was built in 1868 as a pastry shop at the busy street between Lyngby Hovedgade and Lyngby Station, but had quickly become a hotel. Hotel Lyngby and Hotel Rustenborg were the centers of public life in Lyngby, whether it concerned association meetings, parties or elections. Hotel Rustenborg was demolished in 1960 and replaced by the residential and commercial property "Rustenborg."

Lyngby Glassworks was built west of the railway in 1873-74 by a pharmacist and a doctor.The mail production was bottles and other glass containers. Around 50 people worked at the glassworks until a production stop in 1877 and then around 30 until 1882, when it closed. The buildings were demolished in 1890, after which the road Baune Allé was built on the site. Where the glassworks was located, is today a multi storey building on the west side of the property called "The Whale" (Hvalen).

When the railroad was extended from Lyngby to Hillerød in 1864, led two roads across the rails north of Lyngby Station, Bagsværdvej and Vinkelvej, and here began Lyngby "Vesterbro" (aerial 1923). Bagsværdvej today stretch Sorgenfrivej-Old Bagsværdvej-Bagsværdvej. Since the viaduct with Buddingevej opened in 1923, was simultaneously the two crossings closed and replaced by pedestrian tunnel "Rat Trap", which still connects Sorgenfrivej and Old Bagsværdvej.

Vinkelvej crossed the railroad a little south and then hit a sharp turn north to Bagsværdvej so that it actually formed an angle. The previous cut is still a small ledvogterhus. Since Lyngby Station was moved to the south in 1891, was Parallelvej brought from the turn on Vinkelvej south along the west side of the rails. At the closure of crossing disappeared east of the road and the section on the west side of the railroad was crossed by Buddingevej and had to be equipped with ramps. North of Buddingevej called road still Vinkelvej, although it is now after a relocation in the 1970s are almost equal.

West of Vinkelvej was until 1970 a large factory. It was built in 1895 as Lyngby Sugar Refinery by a German company that would compete with the Danish Sugar Factories. But in 1904 it was acquired by DDS and in 1922 closed down. Then stood empty factory buildings a few years, but in 1925 they were purchased and used by Hartmann machine and packaging factory.

Since Hartmann in 1936 built new factory buildings in the later Klampenborgvej was the old sugar factory transformed into porcelain factory Denmark that existed for 1969 (photo). It was a large company with 500 workers and produced especially dining and coffee service. Among the first frame was Rosenborg and Vallo, but especially did the factory in 1960 the popular frame Danild that still exist in many older homes. In the late 1960s, the factory also made vases and figurines that quality was on par with the old porcelænsfabrikkers.
