Cambridge Industrial Archaeology Group presents a walking tour led by an expert guide.Discover Cambridge’s industrial history hiding in plain sight all around us. The banks of the river Cam were once teeming with industries and the river itself was an important trading route. From brewers to scientific instrument makers, from boat builders to the gas works, they could all be found along the river. Small ferries once carried passengers, vehicles and animals across the water but were replaced by bridges as Cambridge grew. If you know where to look, there are still traces to be seen and stories to be told of the industries and the workers of the past.
The tour will begin at Jesus Lock and end at Cambridge Museum of Technology, home of Cambridge’s industrial heritage, where you will be able to explore the displays.
Access to the Museum is included in your ticket (please bring copy of your receipt).
Group size limited: tickets must be purchased in advance (online or from museum)
