The House helping preserve Cambridge's Past and Future

The house belonging to the engineer that treated all of Cambridge’s sewage has been taken over by the Museum of Technology. The Council used to rent it out to families until it was damaged in an arson attack 18 months ago. The Museum hope the house will help to bring to life the city’s past, and become a community hub in the future.

 

Visually impaired artists display their work in new Cambridge exhibition

Visually impaired and blind artists are displaying their works as part of a new exhibition in Cambridge. ‘From the Studio Floor’ was set up by blindness charity Cam Sight, who hope they can sell some of the pieces to raise money for their work in the local community. The curator has deliberately mixed the art all together so that visitors won't be able to tell which works are by full-sighted or partially sighted artists. (Also it features a fellow Derby artist!)

Cambridge touts are using body cameras to prove they’re not breaking new public spaces protection orders. They say the new rules aren’t clear after several touts were hit with £75 fines. But the council say the rules are clear and that any use of body cameras must follow a strict code of practice.
