Police alleged that the Traveller’s Rest beerhouse on Huntingdon Road was frequented by people of bad character and that a married woman lived there in the guise of a single person. It was very remote from police supervision and was used extensively by people from Girton, where public houses had to close at ten o’clock. The brewery said it had installed a new tenant who promised that there would be no raffles and that improper characters, whether men or women, would not be admitted. The licence was renewed. 09 04 23
