We are also running a programme of short talks throughout the day. The timetable, which we will try hard to keep to, is as follows:

12:00pm – Allan Brigham on Mill Road conservation issues.
12:30pm – A short film from Headway about their work.
1:00pm – A duologue by Kay Blayney and Mary Naylor about the Earl of Beaconsfield.
2:00pm – Shelley Lockwood on the restoration at the David Parr House.
2:30pm – Ian Bent on the Howes family, 170 years of a family business.

In between talks we will be showing some old Cambridge films from the East Anglian Film Archive.

As well as all that we will have information and people from the following organisations for you to chat to:

David Parr House
Headway
Friends of Mill Road Cemetery

And of course tea and coffee will be available all day.
