Urban Ramble, part 2

The Round Church, one of the oldest buildings in Cambridge, is one of four medieval round churches still in use in England. A short diversion across Magdalene Bridge brings you to the Museum of Cambidge which is housed in what was until 1934 the White Horse Inn; in the yard is a sign for the old Canbridge based Dales Brewery, which ceased brewing in 1958.

Doubling back and cutting through the delightful Portugal Place, we saw the sculpture representing a DNA helix outside the house where Francis Crick lived in the 1950s.

Walking over Jesus Green and Midsummer Common, with views across the Cam, and diverting further upriver brings you to the Museum of Technology and its characteristic chimney; the shaft is 175 feet tall and was used as part of the original pumping station steam engine house.Leggi altro
