Mill Road Depot Snapshot 2015
A snapshot of the Cambridge City Council’s Mill Road Depot site was put together as part of the Mill Road History Project in order to capture and record the buildings, services and equipment on the site itself as well as the people who work there and the jobs they do both on site and out across the City.
It consists of a series of images, encounters and conversations during the summer of 2015, 110 years after the Depot was opened.
The depot was subsequently closed and redeveloped as a residential area, Ironworks.
In the sections below you can find the photos and interviews recorded on the site and here you can read a summary of the snapshot taken.
