Earl Grey, Cambridge


13 February 1978 – Remembering Cambridge’s lost public houses: A nostalgic newspaper feature reflected on a succession of Cambridge public houses that had disappeared over the previous fifteen years. Among those recalled were the Earl Grey in King Street, together with the Criterion, the Bun Shop, the Volunteer and the Duke of Cambridge. The article used an imaginary pub crawl through former establishments to illustrate the changing social geography of the city.
