Mill Road Through Space and Time

For #OpenCambridge 2025 we have a talk that combines newly filmed drone footage of Mill Road, our collection of historical photos from sources such as the Cambridgeshire Collection, and the stories and voices of the residents of the area that we’ve collected since the start of the Mill Road History Project in 2013.

This will be a live talk where we will tell you some of our favourite tales of Mill Road’s buildings using old photos and new drone shots to place them in context. You will also be able to hear some stories straight from the horse’s mouth using excerpts from our library of interviews with long-term residents.

Doors open at 7pm with the talk starting at 7:30pm. Tea and biscuits provided. Ross Street Community Centre is a fully accessible venue.

Note there is no advance booking for this event so we recommend arriving early in case of strong demand.

Our thanks to Matthew Power (The Willcox Collective) and Gordon Davies (Cambridge Museum of Technology) for enabling the drone footage.
