Mill Road Walking Tour

A walking tour of Mill Road

A walking tour of Cambridge’s Mill Road looking at the history of buildings that played an important part in the road’s leisure scene in the 19th and 20th centuries.

On this tour we will visit places that still exist – and look at photos of what they looked like in the past – as well as buildings that are long gone but still hold a special place in the heart of Mill Road residents.

Starting point: Outside Parkside Pool, on the corner of Gonville Place and Mill Road
End point: Just over the Mill Road railway bridge, at the Earl of Beaconsfield
Length: 1.2 km / 0.75 mi

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
