Bodger’s, one of Cambridge’s oldest-established university menswear shops, which has been on the corner of Green Street and Sidney Street since 1922, is up for sale as a going concern. It is a very prosperous business employing ten full-time staff, but the most valuable part of the concern is the freehold of the shop. It includes sales areas on two floors, a cutting room and canteen, together with an attached doctor’s surgery with a separate entrance, and is valued at £800,000. 85 10 02
