Great park benches I have sat on
I dont know about that title,I think we just need more park benches and its nice when they have a little plaque on them with something like in memory of mr wibbet who had a great time sitting on this bench.
Did you know that during the second world war Glen Miller and his orchestra played at the guildhall in Cambridge? A local told me that, I must try to talk to more people who have lived in cambridge for a long time, I knew someone who had seen the Beatles play back in 1963 when she was 13 and she was screaming along with the rest of them, to me thats a much better than going on one of those tours and looking at the university buildings for a couple of hours, I admit I havent been on one but I will one day and I'll make sure I report back.The one tour I did go on concentrated on the town and it was great apart from stopping in the late 1800s like I have mentioned before.Unfortunately when my family got to cambridge things were already going downhill and the year after they knocked down one side of petty cury and started building the car park and what was to become the lion yard shopping arcade, lion yard arfter the red lion hotel that was destroyed. I just remember boards lining one side of petty cury and nothing of the buildings that were demolished.My older brother had a painting stuck up there along with other kids from his school, I cant recall exactly what it was but for some reason in my minds eye I see the colour brown featuring in it a lot.But there must be many people who remember the old petty cury, so feel free to post a comment if you are one of the lucky ones. I'll be back tomorrow for another lost pub.
