    All those bright young things are now about 80, if still alive. A sobering thought for one 20 years their junior.

    What drastic changes there have been since then Cambridge used to be a quiet backwater of a place but now it is one of the power houses of the UK economy. Sadly along with progress comes a massive increase in population & building, all the fields around Trumpington that I remember as a child have vanished under concrete, the city has lost most of its famous independent shops too.

    This is, of course, based solely around the universities and the learned. There is and always has
    been another side to the City. Town Vs Gown. This is not a criticism, on the contrary, like most
    people in the comments section, I mourn the passing of a more genteel time that is being shown
    here. It might have something to do with my age.

    Then it seems a place for all ages, with genuine gentility, designed to be quietly elegant. I don't get the same feel now from a load of dressed down people who seem to have sacrificed their personality. I think that the very brightest pupils would have had a much more memorable time there then than now. The students have to be supposedly obsessed with their one subject now. Being an all rounder, actually having a feel for the courtly environment, and having a discernible personality, no longer counts for anything there.
