SUMMARY:Talk: Under the Bridge – What was happening behind the hoardings?
DESCRIPTION:Due to circumstances beyond our control we have had to cancel the scheduled talk “Changing landscapes in Romsey Town”\, we hope to reschedule it for later next year. In place of that we have something a little different… \n\n\n\nCome and found out what was actually going on at Mill Road Bridge this summer! \n\n\n\nMill Road History Society is delighted that Richard Watson of the Spencer Group is coming to talk to us at Ross St Community Centre on November 12th at 7.0 for 7.30-9.0 . \n\n\n\nThe family engineering company The Spencer Group was commissioned by Govia Thames Link to carry out extensive work in Cambridge this summer to allow for extra track. The work included altering Mill Road Bridge.  Richard Watson\, the Project Director\, will give us the full story.  Do join us for a rare and privileged opportunity to see what the public rarely gets to see\, and to find history in the making.  \n\n\n\nThe talk will be preceded by a short introduction to the history of Mill Road Bridge by Caro Wilson\, author of the report. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos courtesy of the Spencer Group.

SUMMARY:Festival of Ideas: Miss Jebb revisits Mill Road
DESCRIPTION:In 1900 Eglantyne Jebb\, who would late found ‘Save the Children’ came to live in Cambridge. In 1906 she published ‘Cambridge – A Brief Study in Social Questions’.

SUMMARY:Talk: Archaeology found by the public
DESCRIPTION:Dr Helen Geake\, well known for being part of Channel 4’s Time Team\, will explain how the Treasure Act and the Portable Antiquities Scheme have revolutionised our views of the past. Thirty years ago\, if you found something – even an important archaeological object – there was no systematic recording system. Today archaeological finds made by members of the public are properly recorded and ‘treasures’ are saved for the nation. \n\n\n\nHelen gained her PhD at York looking at how what people wore around the time of Sutton Hoo was linked to the political situation at the time\, when the new institutions of kings and the Church were changing life very fast. She later spent 10 years in Cambridge as the PAS’s early-medieval finds advisor and has since been training volunteers to record their finds on the PAS database and helping the general public use the data for their research. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7pm for a start at 7:30pm. Admission is a suggested £3 per person. All welcome\, fully accessible venue\, refreshments served afterwards.

SUMMARY:AGM and Talk: From Vice to Virtue: The Cambridge Female Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Just visible behind Christ Church on Newmarket Road is the roofline of the Cambridge Female Refuge\, founded in 1838 and functioning in the city until 1939. The Refuge was intended as a voluntarily reformatory institution for ‘fallen’ women\, that is to say\, women earning their living by sex work or considered to be in ‘moral danger’. Women inmates did laundry and sewing work\, learned to read and write and received religious instruction. At the end of around two years\, they were placed in respectable domestic service or returned to friends and family. While inside the institution\, women’s freedom of movement outside the Refuge site was largely restricted to attendance at church.  \n\n\n\nPhoto copyright Susan WoodallPhoto copyright Susan Woodall\n\n\n\nEvery Sunday\, they would walk through the door in the churchyard wall\, through their own private door at the back of the church and into a specially screened private pew. On their way\, they would pass the window designed by Frederick Leach\, who also painted the Refuge interior.  \n\n\n\nFor some women\, despite the hard work and long hours\, the Refuge provided genuine protection and a chance to change their life courses; for some\, separation from their families and the experience of confinement was unbearable. Other women’s experiences were more mixed; they stayed the course by finding inventive ways round institutional rules… \n\n\n\nText copyright Susan Woodall \n\n\n\nThis talk will be preceded by the Society’s AGM. \n\n\n\nThe event takes place at Ross Street Community Centre. Doors open at 7pm and the talk starts at 7:30pm. All are welcome\, Ross Street is a fully accessible venue\, tea and biscuits are provided afterwards. Admission is with a suggested donation of £3 per person.

SUMMARY:Talk: Digging the David Parr House
DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of September\, Alison Dickens and her colleague Catherine Collins from Access Cambridge Archaeology led a team of enthusiastic volunteers to excavate the back garden of the David Parr House on Gwydir Street. Fifteen small test pits were dug over three days (a total of 73 10cm spits!) and their contents sieved and washed\, revealing an incredible range of objects from late Saxon pottery to 20th century childhood memorabilia. This talk is the public sharing of what was uncovered then and has been discovered since\, looking at both the history and development of not only Gwydir Street\, but also this part of Cambridge. \nThis event takes place at the St Barnabas Centre behind St Barnabas Church\, doors open at 7pm with the talk starting at 7:30pm. Entrance is free with any donations shared between Mill Road History Society and the David Parr House. \nThe speaker\, Alison Dickens BA MCIfA\, is a Senior Manager at the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) and Director of Access Cambridge Archaeology (ACA). \n
