| Summary: | "This book draws on the great wealth of associations of street-names in Cambridge. It is not a dictionary but provides a series of entries on such topics as the Reformation, George IV and his wife, twentieth-century scientists, businessmen, Elizabethan times, medieval Cambridge, mayors, millers and builders. It includes hermits and coal merchants, field-marshals and laundresses, martyrs and bombers, unscrupulous politicians and the founder of a Christian community. Cromwell and Newton, an Anglo-Saxon queen, Stalin's daughter and the discoverer of Uranus - all people who lived in or often visited Cambridge."--Jacket. |
