Default H Gee - Cambridge

It's sad to report that the Cambridge institution of H Gee caught fire this morning.

For those not familiar with this shop (which has been "Temporarily Closed" for the past few months), I can do nothing better than quote this flickr piece :-

"In the days when 'wireless' still meant 'radio' and 'Hi-Fi' was anything but 'Wi-Fi', Gee's on Cambridge's now colourful Mill Road was something of a mecca for all audio and stereo enthusiasts. I remember the shop listing themselves as 'radio engineers' in those days. They are now more of a Cambridge institution where anything electrical may be sought and it's been suggested they are the oldest retailer on Mill Road.".

Fortunately, everyone in the building has been accounted for. I hope plans are already formulating to ensure H Gee doesn't simply become another Cambridge memory.
