CAMBOURNE, what’s it all about?
Cambourne, what’s it all about. Hard to believe that 25 years ago this was just green fields, a farm called Monkfields. Come with me as I have a walk about and see how much it has grown.

St Neots Falcon Hotel renovation
Переглядів 35628 днів тому
St Neots Falcon Hotel, is it going to be renovated or what? Well, this hotel has been empty for nearly 20 years and certainly needs something done about it. So some plans have come up for some housing to be built at the back while the front of the building which is listed is going to be commercial and residential. So, have a look at my video and see what you think. Thanks for watching, Andy

    Papworth video - Absolutely dire. Just continuous shots of "Andy" wandering around, could have been anywhere. No mention of why and how Papworth Everard's history. Why was formed from a small village to a tuberculosis colony, then as a major heart hospital, its many factories, its people, how it changed over the years and why. A brief mention of the now defunct hospital and why it moved to Cambridge. No mention of people and population. Absolutely dire.

    Interestingly, Cambourne roads where originally designed as 30kph, but obviously we measure in mph so all the speed signs displayed the nearest mph. Original speed posted was 19mph. It later changed to 30mph, and that now has been reassigned to 20mph. That's 3 speed changes during it's existence 😮

    Friends of mine owned and farmed the fields where Camborne is built on. They sold the land to another big farmer because of death duties. 2 yrs later Camborne was built. Where the belfry stands used to be another friend of mine living in static homes in the wood. It was idilic until the was brought out with no choice in staying. We know the place as crambourne as it’s all so packed in.

In fact I used to go to a church service there for awhile anyway, and then that church service moved out of the hotel the older hotel to the newer community building, but it’s absolutely amazing to see how much the place has changed since I’ve visited there.

    I'm not sure how close to the main 'A' road the church is? But in early 2005, I was travelling back to Milton Keynes, from a gig that myself and guitarist Tom had just finished. As we travelled along this road (not sure if it's an A road?) we both of us saw a hooded figure to the side of a field coming close to the edge of this road. It clearly was a hooded figure, and the both of us were utterly baffled as to why somebody would be out so late wandering around.
