History of 177 - 183 Mill Road
c.1890:
(177-179) Co-Op
Cambridge Co-operative Society, Branch no. 1, 1908 (Cambridgeshire Collection)
5 November 1901
A fruitless burglary was committed at the Mill Road branch of the Cambridge Co-operative Society. The thieves were clearly searching for cash, but Saturday evening takings had already been transferred to the strong room at the Society’s central stores in Burleigh Street. The manager discovered that bags of sugar had been disturbed and that a steel knife-sharpening tool had been used in an attempt to force open the till. Although the back door had been unfastened, nothing had been stolen, the burglars apparently deciding that goods from the shop would be too easily recognised. Credit: Mike Petty Archive.
