Mill Road was originally a quiet country lane leading to the southeast out of the city of Cambridge, named after the windmill that stood at what is now the corner of Covent Garden. The coming of the railways in the mid-19th century brought about a rapid development of the eastern part of the city after the University of Cambridge repeatedly blocked attempts to build a more central station because it felt students might be tempted towards the ‘Fleshpots of London’!

St Tibbs Row, Cambridge
Torres Strait Islands
The Torres Strait is a strait which lies between Australia and the Melanesian island of New Guinea. It is approximately 150 km (93 mi) wide at its narrowest extent. To the south is Cape York Peninsula, the northernmost continental extremity of the Australian state of Queensland. To the north is the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. It is named after navigator Luis Vaz de Torres who discovered it in 1606.

Several clusters of islands lie in the Strait, collectively called the Torres Strait Islands. There are at least 274 of these islands, of which 17 have present-day permanent settlements. Over 6,800 Torres Strait Islanders live on the Islands and 42,000 live on the mainland.

The islands’ indigenous inhabitants are the Torres Strait Islanders, Melanesian peoples related to the Papuans of adjoining New Guinea. The various Torres Strait Islander communities have a distinct culture and long-standing history with the islands and nearby coastlines. Their maritime-based trade and interactions with the Papuans to the north and the Australian Aboriginal communities have maintained a steady cultural diffusion between the three societal groups, dating back thousands of years at least.
Two indigenous languages are spoken on the Torres Strait Islands: Kala Lagaw Ya/ as well as Brokan [Broken], otherwise called Torres Strait Creole.

Melanesia
Melanesia (UK: /ˌmɛləˈniːziə/; US: /ˌmɛləˈniːʒə/) is a subregion of Oceania extending from the western end of the Pacific Ocean to the Arafura Sea, and eastward to Fiji.
The region consists of the four countries of:
• Vanuatu,
• Solomon Islands
• Fiji
• Papua New Guinea.
Besides these independent countries, Melanesia also includes:
• New Caledonia, a special collectivity of France
• West Papua. West Papua includes two provinces of Indonesia, Papua and West Papua

Murray Island
Murray Island (which the local Torres Strait Islanders called Mer) is a small island of volcanic origin, populated by the Melanesian Meriam people and situated in the eastern section of Torres Strait, near the Great Barrier Reef. The island has a population of around 450.

During WW2, in 1941, over 700 Islanders volunteered to defend the Torres Strait. This group was organised into the Torres Strait Light Infantry Battalion. A call for independence from Australia in the 1980s was due to the government failing to provide basic infrastructure on the island.

Missionaries (mainly Polynesian) and some other Polynesians began to settle on the island in 1872 when the London Missionary Society founded a missionary school there. The Queensland Government annexed the islands in 1879 but moves made in the latter part of the 20th century saw this overturned. Rivers’ work was significant in the making of the decision by the High Court of Australia. The key appeals were by a man called Eddie Mabo, descendant of the islanders The organisation of the island is now based on the traditional laws of boundary and ownership.

The Somme
Royal Victoria Hospital Netley
The Royal Victoria Hospital, or Netley Hospital was a large military hospital in Netley, near Southampton, Hampshire, England. Construction started in 1856 at the suggestion of Queen Victoria but its design caused some controversy, chiefly from Florence Nightingale. Often visited by Queen Victoria, the hospital was extensively used during the First World War – a large Red Cross hutted hospital was built at the back of the site,[23] which expanded Netley Hospital to accommodate around 2,500 beds.[23] Many of the staff were Red Cross volunteers, as most of the regular staff were overseas. Some 50,000 patients were treated at Netley during the war.

Royal Hospital, Hampstead Heath
In March 1915 the War Office assigned the Hospital to the Army, and it became The Military Hospital, Hampstead. Four additional huts, each to hold 25 patients, were built in the grounds of the Hospital. The total patient accommodation was 230 beds. The nursing staff consisted of a Matron, six Sisters (two from the Regular Military Nursing Service and four from the Reserve) and 8 members of a Voluntary Aid Detachment. Convalescent soldiers wore new hospital uniforms – blue coats with white facings, matching trousers and a scarlet tie. In 1916 it became a special army research hospital for the study and treatment of cardiac cases among army personnel. One of its main projects was investigation into effort syndrome, or disorderly action of the heart, commonly known as ‘soldier’s heart’. By 1917 the premises had become too small for the number of patients presenting themselves and the heart unit moved to the Sobroan Barracks Military Hospital in Colchester.
In December 1917 the Mount Vernon buildings became the Royal Flying Corps Central Hospital. In March 1918 an Air Medical Investigation Committee was established to investigate the problems of special disabilities associated with flying, especially anoxaemia (oxygen deficiency) caused by flying at high altitudes.

Evelyn Convalescent Nursing Home, Cambridge

The Evelyn Nursing Home was founded in 1921 by C Morland Agnew as a consequence of his wife Evelyn having undergone an unpleasant stay in another Cambridge nursing home.
For many years the only Cambridge nursing home to possess an operating theatre, the Evelyn also opened its doors to medical, maternity and psychiatric patients and to residents. Following an ambitious programme of modernisation and development instigated by Morland Agnew’s grandson Julian Agnew in 1974, the Evelyn decided to specialise in the care of acute medical and surgical cases – a programme for which it was well equipped, thanks to its close ties with Addenbrooke’s Hospital and with the Cambridge medical fraternity.
In 1983 it was renamed the Evelyn Hospital as a reflection of its new status and in 2003 it was sold to the Nuffield Hospitals Group.

St Giles Cemetery

Anatole von Hügel, the Museum’s first Curator donated his own collection of artefacts from the South Pacific. More material was collected by the 1898 Cambridge anthropological expedition to the Torres Strait under Alfred Haddon and W. H. R. Rivers. Haddon and Rivers would encourage their Cambridge students to continue to collect for the museum in their ethnographic fieldwork.
Von Hügel set in motion a move to larger, specially built, premises: in 1913 the museum moved to its present location in Downing Street,
