Mill Road History Society presents a talk that explores an unexpected pattern to the naming of buildings and streets near Cromwell Road, in Romsey Town. Julian Jacobs studied History at Oxford, with a particular focus on the 17th Century. So this talk unites his love of history with his love of the Romsey community in which he has lived since 1982. Before retirement, Julian served as the Department Administrator at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge. We would also like to hear about the derivations of other street names in Cambridge, particularly in the Mill Road area, and will call for short contributions from the audience at the end of the talk. Date: Tuesday 14 October 2025 Doors open: 7pm Talk starts: 7:30pm Location: Ross St Community Centre, Ross Street, Cambridge CB1 3UZ Admission: £3 All welcome.
