How Not to Find Us

Today I received a menu flyer from The Grill Brothers, which helpfully contains the map shown here. Quite apart from the facts that…

  • Thoday Street and the part of Mill Road east of it have become cul-de-sacs.
  • Hope Street has been rebranded as part of Catharine Street.
  • The driveway behind the Mill Road Broadway shops is shown as prominently as a road.

their address of 529b Newmarket Road is opposite the Abbey Stadium, which is about a foot away from this map at the scale it is printed. Clearly they haven’t spend lockdown getting to know their neighbourhood like the back of their hand!
