More about this scene
Fortunately the past 45 years have not changed this scene. The David Smith factory (corrugated packaging) in the distance has now moved to Newmarket, and the old malthouse with the rounded roof (centre) is now an office building with a car park alongside. Behind the trees is the sports field.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
When my family arrived in England from the US we went straight to our home which was located in Burwell. While my parents went to buy groceries for the kids we were able to start meeting our new playmates in the area. This was my first expereince with the difference in our english language. To this day I still get a laugh remembering when a young girl was leaving she said "Cheerio" and I thought to my self why is she talking about a cereal.
