During Cambridge licensing sessions, the police reported that supervision of the Crystal Palace public house in Mill Road was particularly difficult. The only access to the rear of the premises was by a narrow side passage, the door to which was always kept locked, making effective inspection impossible. The Crystal Palace was considered alongside several other licensed houses in and around Cambridge during a general review of licences, but its licence was ultimately renewed.

At the Cambridge licensing sessions the Crystal Palace, Mill Road, was one of three public houses ordered to close, the others being the Priory Tap in Newmarket Road and the Bell in Northampton Street. During the same proceedings, the Star Brewery applied for permission to sell beer in smaller quantities direct from the brewery. Credit: Mike Petty Archive.
