Qualcomm Moves Offices, Milton Road, Cambridge - 26th July 2006

Nosher's place of work moves less than a mile from one side of Milton Road in Cambridge - on the mini Police State that is the Business Park - to the other, in the shape of the campus-like Science Park, which was really the culmination of the original vision right back in those heady 3G Lab start-up days. During the move, we have to return to the old place to clear up the remaining detritus before the lease can be completed, which gives a last chance to look around the building in more-or-less the same state it was before we moved in, back in 2001. In between the two days of moving, there are some poppies by the side of the road near Wickham Skeith which needed a photo - it was just as well as when heading back to work the next day, they'd all been strimmed.
