Check out this event on #Cambridge's Spinning house and the uni's history of arresting women for street walking in the 19th c - literally regulating women's presence in public space ls! We talk about it in our #HiddenHistories tour but Caroline Biggs wrote a whole book on it!

Throwback to 3 weeks ago, when we joined the brilliant HistoryLab+ ECR conference, to share our work in York (and in other cities with Uncomfortable Oxford and Uncomfortable Cambridge ) with a stellar lineup of scholars and heritage practitioners!

This is such a great read on #access and the politics of space! Cambridge's unequal urban geography is something that shapes how we develop the route of our guided walks, and the source of many fascinating and #uncomfortable conversations with our tour participants ! ๐Ÿ‘ฃ
