Cambridge has a long association with research into the nature of the atom. The Cavendish Laboratory is a world leading research centre into atomic and nuclear physics. Established in 1874 under the guidance of James Clerk Maxwell, the Cavendish laboratory has had many notable researchers as students and also staff. JJ Thomson, who discovered the electron, was a Cavendish Professor. A small plaque in Free School Lane commemorates the discovery. Thomson’s students included Ernest Rutherford, who discovered nuclear fission, and Charles Wilson, who invented the cloud chamber. Read Less

The History
Named after Thomas Hobson Esq a Cambridge carrier who delivered mail between London and Cambridge. The stables were near St Catherine’s College in the centre of the city and when the horses were not delivering mail they were used by the students and staff of the university. Thomas Hobson noticed that the strongest and fastest horses were very popular and tended to be overworked. He devised a scheme whereby customers were offered the choice of the horse nearest to the door or none at all, renting his horses out in strict rotation. Hence there was no choice at all. Read Less

A light copper coloured session bitter with a full bodied brew with a chocolatey nose, supported by a little citrus hoppiness. Plenty of depth for its modest strength but a pleasant aroma from the unique blend of hops and malt.
The History
Cambridge has a long history of rowing within the city and the university. The highlight is the annual varsity boat race which takes place between Oxford University and Cambridge University on the Thames in London. The Varsity Boat Race has been held annually since 1829. The local river Cam is unfortunately too narrow for the crews to race side by side so an alternative method of racing is used called the “Bumps”. The boats are aligned along the river and the object of the race is to bump the boat ahead. Once this has been achieved both boats pull out of the race and start the next days race with their positions reversed. Over a series of bump races the boats try to advance their positions at the start as high as possible.
In the centre of the city the university and town boat clubs have several historic boathouses from which very early morning training runs are taken.
