The Winter Fair, Mill Road, Cambridge - 2nd December 2006
Mill Road on the east side of Cambridge is home to all sorts of interesting shops. Along its length can be found Chinese and Korean supermarkets, Polish sausage specialists, Brazilian cafés, Middle-Eastern supplies, Turkish kebabs and Indian restaurants. On one day in December, pretty much the whole street participates in the Winter Fair, which gives a chance to offer a few free tasty treats, and for some of the normally-closed places to open up to show what they do. There are also various street entertainments occuring, in particular a Chinese dragon dance which takes place on Donkey Common, near the swimming pool on the very end of Mill Road. Also, one of these photos won the Mill Road Winter Fair photo competition, which netted £50 in Co-op vouchers, for the win.
