Mill Road has recently been described as 'the new Islington'! Others still remember it as the route to the Workhouse.
Take a stroll down Mill Road with local historian Allan Brigham and SEE the Victorian workhouse! Discover the site of the mill that gave the road it's name. See where the only steam locomotive manufactured in Cambridge was made. And hear about life in the recent past when children still slept four to a bed and the tin bath hung on the outside wall awaiting 'the weekly 'bath night'' scrub. ....and end with a meal or a drink in one of the many pubs or restaurants ?
Just turn up on the day, but places are limited. To guarantee a place please book in advance: allanbrigham@hotmail.com
Something else to look out for - all day various street performers, musicians, dancers will suddenly appear and leap into action in unexpected places
Greenwheels Rickshaws will ply up and down Mill Road all day to transport you over the bridge or to any of the many events and performances.
Dial-A-Ride are arranging transportation throughout the day to help people with mobility problems to reach special destinations. Please contact info@mill-road.com if you would like more information.
If you walk the length of Mill Road, from the Parker's Piece end to Brookfields and the junction with Perne Road you will pass many species of trees and shrubs. They are an interesting mixture of British natives and species from all over the world – mirroring the diverse human population of the area.
There will also be tasters and samples of goodies to try throughout the day!
Outside Arjuna Mouth Music will be selling hot soup and fresh pizza and will also have their new trailer (normally found in town on Market Street)
