Covent Garden, Cambridge
Covent Garden is a street in Cambridge, England, off Mill Road and near The Kite district. The street takes its name from the London market of the same name as there used to be a market garden there.[1]
The street has one pub The Six Bells, where cricketer Israel Haggis was landlord from 1837 to 1844.[2]
Blue plaques[edit]
Blue plaques have been created for each of the 44 houses, recording highlights of the residents' history such as the tailor, Frederick Scriven, who lived at number 9 for 47 years and whose assistant was hanged for murder in 1876.[3]
