WANTED: names/stories of old Cambridge shops

Post a reply

Hi everyone, someone I know is working on a book about Cambridge and they are including a chapter on shops/places which used to be notable locations but are now closed. Feel free to mention any locations you can think of with stories/background info in the comments of this post and I'll forward them to him. Background info which can't be found easily would be helpful as long as you know it is correct, but he said he will fact-check the book whilst writing it. Any places which used to exist in Cambridge - as recent or as old as possible (i.e. Blackbarn and Funky Funhouse are getting a mention, as well as the Kinema), as long as they were a notable part of Cambridge in your opinion (i.e. possibly the only music shop in town at one point, the first charity shop, first Chinese restaurant). Thanks

P.S. Pictures are welcome, but please mention if the pictures are your own or not. If you post your own pictures, I may ask if he can use them in his book but you have no obligation to say yes to this.
