More about this scene

This pavilion was built by the David Smith factory alongside the cricket pitch. When the factory moved to Newmarket, there was some debate about the future of the sports field; whilst the debate was successfully resolved, the pavilion declined, and is now derelict. A modern sports club has been built overlooking the cricket 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.
