Cambridge Information Orientation CAMBRIDGE INFORMATION Cambridge is a charming town replete with cobblestone streets and attractive lanes whose profound historical ambiance was the setting of much of the last years of C.S. Lewis’ life. While Oxford resented Lewis’ Christianity and popularity, Cambridge offered the newly created position of Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English to him. In fact, J.R.R. Tolkien was influential in his appointment. Although hesitant at first to leave the Kilns, Warnie, and Joy, Lewis eventually took the position. Each week he commuted between Oxford and Cambridge, sleeping and studying on the train. Lewis grew to love Cambridge deeply. Of his college there, he once wrote: “I think I shall like Magdalene (Cambridge) better than Magdalen (Oxford). It’s a tiny college (a perfect cameo architecturally), and they’re all so old fashioned, and pious, and gentle, and conservative – unlike this leftist, atheist, cynical, hardboiled, huge Magdalen.” After a stay in Cambridge, you will no doubt delight in its many splendours as well. It is smaller and more rustic than Oxford; even if the locals own a car, most prefer to bicycle. Still, one cannot escape the grandeur of King’s College, the magnificence of St. John’s Chapel, and the weight of its intellectual history. In addition to C.S. Lewis, Cambridge was home to Erasmus, John Harvard, Isaac Newton, John Milton, William Wilberforce, Charles Spurgeon, James Dewey Watson, Francis Crick, and many others. ORIENTATION The Romans built the first of the city’s towns along the River Cam. The “straight” roads left by the Romans provide cyclists with some of the best touring routes available, and certain portions of the roads provide a glimpse of the original surface. The “straight” road passing through Cambridge goes through the centre of town and changes name depending upon which segment you are on: St. Andrew’s Street, Sidney Street, Bridge Street, and Huntingdon Road. There is a post office at the very end of the St. Andrew’s Segment. The Sidney Street segment, like many areas in the city centre, does not admit to car traffic during the daytime. A Boot’s pharmacy and Sainsbury’s supermarket can be found along Sidney Street. This area of town encompasses the “high street” or shopping area with two Marks and Spencer’s (for clothes and food), an open air market, and various other shops. Walking through the market place, past the university church, St. Mary’s, you will reach the main road that some of the oldest colleges and university buildings inhabit – including Corpus Christi College, King’s College, Senate House (where graduation takes place), Gonville and Caius, Trinity College, and St. John’s College. Various segments of this road are known as King’s Parade, Trinity Street, and St. John’s Street. A smaller post office and gift store may be found on the Trinity Street segment. 1 Tourist Information: The Cambridge Tourist Information Centre can be found on Peas Hill and provides maps and brochures of the local area. They also have a Cambridge Visitors card that offers discounts for admission prices and restaurants. (Tel.0871/226-8006, [email protected]; www.visitcambridge.org). GETTING AROUND CAMBRIDGE Cambridge was designed for walking. Its narrow lanes, cobblestone streets, and exasperating one way streets make this means of transportation highly recommended for travel within the city centre. Even those locals who have cars tend to take their bicycle or a bus into town from the outlying areas. Should you need transportation to the perimeter of the city centre, or to London, please consider the taxi and bus options listed below. Bicycle Rentals: Bike Hire Online (Located on Chester Road near Jesus Green Lock, tel.07964/427-151, email [email protected], website www.bikehireonline.com, open Monday-Saturday 10am-12pm & 4pm-6pm and Sunday 12pm-3pm); Station Cycles (Located on Corn Exchange Street, tel.01223/ 307-655, website www.stationcycles.co.uk, open Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, Wednesday 8am-7pm, Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday 10am-5pm); City Cycle Hire (Located 61 Newnham Road, tel.01223/365-629, website www.citycyclehire.com, open Monday-Friday 9am-5:30pm and Saturday 9am-5pm). Taxis: Panther Taxis (tel.01223/715-715); Diamond Taxis (tel.01223/523-523.) Buses: The Bus Station is on Drummer Street.

Route: Emmanuel St, Fair St (Grafton Centre), Newmarket Rd, Jesus Lane, Bridge St, St Johns St, King's Parade, Silver St, Pembroke St, Downing St, Andrews St. Details of the bus service linking the University sites on the west of Cambridge to the city centre and Addenbrooke's can be found at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/em/travel/uni4.shtml. The fares vary but cost approximately ₤1, and travel cards are available. Britrail: These passes are a smart option if you will use the trains at least four times during your stay. They are available through STA travel (www.sta.com) and Britrail (www.britrail.com). You can compare bus, train, and car routes for all of Great Britain, including pricing and scheduling, through one website: www.transportdirect.com. 2 OPTIONS FOR FREE TIME IN CAMBRIDGE Walking Tours Self-Guided Tours: The information tables will have a C.S. Lewis’ Cambridge walking tour booklet for around £5. Also consider clearing your head with a gentle walk through the green areas behind the college known as “the backs.” Just pick up a map and start walking. 2 Hour Guided Walks: Walking Tours leave the Tourist Information Centre every day of the week at the following times: 11am, 12pm, 1pm, & 2pm. Tickets can be bought from the guide 15 minutes before the start of the tour. Including King's College: Adults - £15. Including St. John's College: Adults - £15. Call 01223/457-574 to book. Punting Tours: Better yet, embrace the long standing tradition of “punting” or boating down the Cam by embarking at either the Silver Street Bridge or the Magdalene College Bridge. Tours cover either the college backs (and all the spurious but interesting stories associated with them and their bridges) or go all the way to Grantchester meadows, one of C.S. Lewis’ favorite places. Price structures vary but typically run around £10 per person or £50 per punt. See Scudamores (Tel.01223/359- 750; www.scudamores.co.uk); Chauffeured Punts (Tel.01223/354-164; www.punting- in-cambridge.co.uk); or The Granta Boat & Punting Company (Tel.01223/301-845; www.puntingincambridge.com).

  • Contents of the Hoard
    THE FOURTEENTH-CENTURY HOARD FROM CHESTERTON LANE CORNER, CAMBRIDGE MARTIN ALLEN Introduction IN 2000 the Cambridge Archaeological Unit had a watching brief from Anglia Water Pic to observe the excavation of a series of fifteen construction access shafts (numbered M1-M15) along a sewer pipeline in Cambridge, from Chesterton to Cambridge University's new West Cambridge development. Fourteen of the shafts contained no material of archaeological significance, but one shaft (M5) at the corner of Chesterton Lane and Magdalene Street (National Grid Reference TL 4462 5906; Fig. 1) proved to be exceptionally rich in archaeological features and artefacts, including a fourteenth-century hoard of 1,814 coins (9 gold and 1,805 silver).1 At the bottom of the shaft (3 m in diameter and about 4 m deep) was a prehistoric river channel, and above this were two successive Roman roads, a Middle Saxon execution cemetery, and later pre-Norman Conquest features, possibly providing evidence of a church at the northern end of the bridge over \\ \ \ ' St. Giles A r> J / x^-'-x V / c?/ / // N\ \ ' \J> C/ v / w\ \ f\/> \ X^X \\\ • / X I X X Magdalene College x;'" f" v — X\ - V • / \ \ ' 0 \ -- T \ M) Fig. 1. The site of the excavation at Chesterton Lane Corner. Acknowledgements: I owe a great debt of gratitude to members of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit. Norma Challands, who first alerted me to the discovery of the hoard, devoted many hours to the washing of the hoard during its preliminary examination, tolerating my inexpert assistance. Alison Dickens and Craig Cessford have been a constant source of help and advice during the preparation of this article, and they have provided Figs 1-4.

  • A Historical Look at the Shops – Past and Present in the Colchester Town Centre Area
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE SHOPS – PAST AND PRESENT IN THE COLCHESTER TOWN CENTRE AREA 1 INTRODUCTION Having written about walking around our town and others over Christmas and the month of January, looking at churches in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the weekend of 1st and 2nd February 2014, saw me writing and photographing the main shops in our town of Colchester and trying to find out the National History of the businesses. So here is my story again …… 99p STORE (84-86 Culver Street East) 99p Stores Ltd. is a family run business founded in January 2001 by entrepreneur Nadir Lalani, who opened the first store in the chain in Holloway, London, with a further three stores opening later that year. In 2002, Lalani decided to expand the business throughout the UK and has rapidly developed 99p Stores, operating a total of 129 stores as of March 2010 and serving around 1.5 million customers each week, undercutting their main rival Poundland by a penny. As of mid-2009 the company offered more than 3,500 different product lines throughout its stores. Most of their stores are based in the south of the UK, although there are stores as far north as Liverpool and Hartlepool. The chain saw accelerated store expansion upon the collapse of Woolworths Group, where they took the opportunity to acquire 15 of these former stores, increasing their estate to 79 at that time. Landlords are now regarding 99p Stores as an anchor tenant due to the significant number of customers one of their stores can bring to a location.

  • Cambridge Club Site the Backs and Colleges Walk
    Cambridge Club Site The Camping and Caravanning Backs and colleges walk Route Summary A walk of approximately 15.6km/9.7 miles taking you along the River Cam into the heart of Cambridge via the world- famous Backs. The return leg passes some of the city's colleges, museums and other historical sights, with the opportunity to make detours to many other interesting landmarks. Route Overview Category: Walking Rating: Unrated Surface: Smooth Date Published: 21st September 2018 Difficulty: Easy Length: 15.540 km / 9.71 mi Last Modified: 21st September 2018 Description This walk takes you from the seclusion of the Camping and Caravanning Club Site on the outskirts of Trumpington to historic and beautiful Grantchester, following cycleways and pathways. It then ambles along meadows at the side of the River Cam into the city centre, passing through The Backs and into the bustling small lanes and alleys around the colleges. The return journey shows the other side of the colleges, with museums and other places of interest to enjoy along the route back. Before reaching the beautiful setting of Grantchester a small weir is passed, part of a local nature reserve. It is alleged that the romantic poet Lord Byron swam in the river at this spot. Hence it now goes by the name Byron’s Pool. There has been a settlement in the area called Grantchester since pre-historic times, but the greatest influence on the village has been from the Cambridge Colleges from the 1300s onwards. Corpus Christie and King’s College have been the most influential, with the latter being Lord of the Manor.

Clare students. as a mixed College. its 700th birthday. PAGE 2 PAGE 6 PAGE 8 PAGE 16 ALUMNI NEWS Cats & Dogs Three Clare vets Dr Clive Elwood (1983) manages one of the largest veterinary hospitals for cats and dogs in the UK, if not Europe. Forty vets, fifty nurses and tens of support staff keep him on his toes. Two of his vets are also Clare alumni, Mark Goodfellow (1994) and Mark Lowrie (1998). “It’s not at all like ‘James Herriott’, is the first thing to say. This is a modern hospital concentrating on advanced surgery on cats and dogs, which makes it different to most other practices. Surgery of this kind, historically, was done at universities but there is now a large private sector market.” Clive joined the Davies practice in 1998 and became managing director two years ago. “I didn’t have any clear ambitions when I was at Clare other than to be a vet. Although I got a Mark Goodfellow, Clive Elwood, Mark Lowrie First in my first year, I went downhill from there academically and coasted until I caught the over Clare bridge, said that he should apply for Clare Pageant ‘bug’ by visiting the University of Pennsylvania Clare. His mother, he says, is not someone you in the summer of my fifth year”. The bug was can say ‘no’ to.
