Description

Cambridge has a world-famous university, but the town’s long history predates the coming of the scholars, beginning with the Romans, who first identified this as a good spot for a settlement. It was a good choice and it continued to thrive into the medieval period. Seeking sanctuary here in the thirteenth century, the fledgling university was something of a cuckoo, growing to dominate its civic neighbour as their stories intertwined. Largely bypassed by manufacturing, in recent years the town has forged a reputation as a centre for the high-tech industries. Secret Cambridge explores the lesser-known aspects of this familiar place, integrating town and gown to offer a fresh perspective on some forgotten fragments of the city’s story. Writer and historian Andrew Sargent ventures down secluded streets and alleyways in order to shed light on neglected corners, allowing readers to experience the diverse flavour of the city’s rich history.

Author Biography:

Andrew lives not far from Oxford in the Thames valley. Local history and archaeology have always been his passions. After taking a doctorate in archaeology from Cambridge University he worked for English Heritage for over 20 years. He has published numerous articles on aspects of archaeology as well as monographs on the history of photography. This book arose naturally out of his varied interests.
