Oh my goodness, how did I not know about this place? I have known Cambridge on and off for the last 50+ years. I first remember going down Mill Road in the late 1960's. Renbro, the model and train shop was there. The model and train shop later moved to the Kite area, near the Grafton Centre.

As an undergraduate in the 1970's, I very occasionally visited the Devonshire Arms, which is almost next door, but only in numbers. There were other pubs in the area, eg "The Locomotive", which is also on Mill Road, where undergraduates were not welcome. And my grandfather grew up round the corner in St. Barnabas Road.

Part of the Pye site in Chesterton was on the site of the old Banham's boatyard. But that was before my time.
