Derelict brick buildings on East Road, including Peak's Furnishers and Cam Shoe Repair, featuring large advertising hoardings.

Peak’s Furnishers (183 East Road) and Cam Shoe Repair Service (184 East Road), 1980s, by Roy Hammans (the-golden-fleece.co.uk)

183 East Road, Cambridge

Former Tram Shed

183 East Road was a former tram shed that was used as a furniture repository until the 1960s and then lay unoccupied until taken over by Peak’s Furnishers in the 1970s.

The site was redeveloped in 1986 by the development company Idealistic into a restaurant, offices and shops.

The stables behind the tram shed opened as the Tram Depot pub in 1986.
