Mill Road Fringe’s annual Summer Shindig is on Sunday 14th July and the weather is (so far) looking warm and sunny. A perfect way to meet friends and enjoy an afternoon/evening of live music in the park. Lots of activities for children. More info here.
Kieran Gleave, a second-year PhD student at the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge writes:
I am conducting part of my PhD research in Cambridge’s Petersfield and Romsey areas. Through my data collection, I aim to explore the relationships that community identities within the Mill Road area have with the ‘everyday’ traces of the industrial past. In essence, I’m trying to understand how the remnants of the industrial past inspire or shape what it means to belong to a community within the area.
To collect my data, I’m recruiting local people to get involved with my project by participating in one-to-one interviews.

Kieran seeks to recruit local people who feel a sense of belonging to a community within Petersfield and Romsey to participate in one-to-one interviews for PhD research between June and October 2024. The research aims to explore how the ‘everyday’ traces of the industrial past inspire what it means to belong to a local community within the area.
The research will be through informal one-to-one interviews, of between 30 – 60 minutes, talking about:
If you are interested in participating, or in learning more about this research, please email Kieran Gleave at ktg29@cam.ac.uk.
If somebody you know might be interested in participating in an interview, or in learning more about this research, please forward this blogpost to them.
Rana, a Master’s student at the Department of Archaeology (Heritage Studies) at the University of Cambridge. Has been in touch.
I am conducting research on ‘heritage-making’ in Cambridge, looking at the Cambridge Central Mosque in particular and how locals respond to/ engage with the space. This is in relation to broader community and cultural relations in the city.

Rana is hoping to contact individuals in the Mill Road “Community of Communities” who might want to take part in her research.
Taking part in Rana’s research would consist of a chat (around 30 minutes) either online or on the phone.
Rana adds that she would also be happy to meet in-person at the Cambridge Central Mosque, Mill Road, and show them around. She is looking for a diverse range of participants local to the area – no specialist or previous knowledge needed – just anyone who is local and enthusiastic about Cambridge!
If you’re interested, contact Rana through this email link, before 28th June 2024. She will get in touch to organise a chat.
Rana would also really appreciate you forwarding this blogpost, or the email link to anyone else who you think would be interested in contributing to her research.
