Mill Road, Cambridge

This was my local laundrette long ago. My wife-to-be and I used to go there on our early dates. I'm amazed it's still open.

This cinema closed down before I arrived in Cambridge. I think it was opposite St Barnabas church, but I'm not sure

The Bath House opened in 1927. The area was poor, so the baths were an important amenity. In 1969 a sauna was added. In 1975 a bath cost 10p to the public, but the real cost was £1.09, so it became a centre for community groups. It's still running. I spent many happy Saturday mornings there in the Friends of the Earth office. See my Bath House notes for details.
