Unsurprisingly, Armistice Day in Cambridge in November 1918 was as raucous an affair as elsewhere. The Cambridge Chronicle reported:
The news reached Cambridge about 11 o’clock, and spread like wildfire. The first signal was given by the hoisting of the Union Jack at the Town Hall [now the Guildhall], and the churches and colleges quickly followed suit in setting joy-bunting floating. In a few moments youngsters were shrilly cheering in the streets … With feverish speed all Cambridge hung out bunting, and women and children bedecked themselves with miniatures flags or trappings of red, white and blue.
An effigy of the Kaiser was paraded around the town. Unfortunately the bells of Great St. Mary’s failed to ring because a group of over-enthusiastic youths damaged them, but there was no such problem in Haslingfield. The bells there rang for two hours from noon.
During the whole of November, the Little Rose Pub is offering 20% off all meals Monday to Saturday. Also, for its Sunday Lunches, whenever you pay for two adult meals, you’ll get a children’s Sunday Lunch for free. The price of a Sunday Lunch is Adults £8-95 and Children £5-95. The weekday menu also has a wide range of Children’s meals, all costing £3-00. The pub is now open from noon every day of the week and is serving food from 4pm until 9pm Mondays to Fridays, on Saturdays from noon until 9pm with special Sunday Lunches from noon until 3pm.
