The Star Brewery want a new pub, The Golden Hind, on Milton Road, an area of 1,010 houses of which the majority had been built since 1927. It was not ribbon development but housing estates on each side and practically built up to the railway gates. King’s Hedges Road would form part of the new Ring Road so further development might be expected there. If granted the brewery would surrender the licence of the ‘Racehorse’ on Newmarket Road and the ‘Plume of Feathers’. The Women’s Total Abstinence Union opposed the application. 36 03 06 Credit: Mike Petty, Cambridge Arbury and King’s Hedges Scrapbook 1897–1990.
