    Still quite a few students around even though it's half term (break).
    A very English look.Still some red boxes around. Now they often hold books or defibrillators.The Eagle holds so much history.1Dormer upper left has a window nailed open, so it can never be closed. Long story why.An old church, St Bedet's, tower is oldest & round holes were to allow owls to fly in & eat rats.History on The Eagle.A graduate. Their attire very strictly observed, zero deviations allowed.Plenty of bicycles but that one bent rim will make for a tough ride.John C Taylor's Corpus Clock says "mundus transit et concupiscentia eius".He was an alum & designed this to illustrate how we never get time back -"grasshopper" eats time.If you zoom in, you will see Henry VIII has a wooden chair leg in his right hand.This is Cambridge University - composed of 31 colleges & founded in 1209.Cost for graduation gowns. Just like tuition, not cheap.A quick drink in The Eagle.The walls may be signed by current or retired military.The ceiling.

    I never realized how little I knew of Cambridge! For example, mundus transit et concupiscentia eius means ‘the world and its desires pass away.’

    ПутешественникDormer upper left has a window nailed open, so it can never be closed. Long story why.Found the story: "A window above the beer garden at the Eagle in Cambridge is permanently fixed open, and it is written in the lease that the window must remain so. Around three hundred years ago, three children were unable to escape from the building during a fire and continue to haunt the pub today. The open window allows these young ghosts to leave the pub as they wish and it is reported that strange things have happened in the past when the window was shut. One account has said that should anyone dare to try and close the window, everybody inside the pub will experience a powerful feeling of suffocation."
