The Kite that soared in Cambridge

Secret Cambridge

Available for over a year

From the middle of the 19th century, a working class area of central Cambridge developed into a community of ‘free-spirited’ and ‘dynamic’ people who were denied access to city centre amenities. Nick Carter tells the story of how ‘The Kite’ came to be, the people who lived there and the impact it had on forcing social change. (Photo credit: Museum of Cambridge)
