This book, first published in 2000, draws on the great wealth of associations of street-names in Cambridge. It is not a dictionary, but it provides a series of entries on such topics as the Reformation, George IV and his wife, twentieth-century British scientists, businessmen, Elizabethan times, medieval Cambridge, mayors, millers, and builders. It includes hermits and coal merchants, field marshals and laundresses, martyrs and bombers, unscrupulous politicians and the founder of a Christian community, Cromwell and Newton, an Anglo-Saxon queen and the discoverer of Uranus - all people who lived in or often visited Cambridge. The ancient Stourbridge fair is included, along with castles and boat-races, sewage pumps and the original Hobson of 'Hobson's Choice'. Who was St Tibb? Where did Dick Turpin hide? Where was the medieval takeaway? Unlike earlier works, this is a history of everybody for everybody.

L'ouvrage se veut une introduction à une série de volumes consacrés à la publication scientifique des fouilles archéologiques préventives effectuées depuis vingt ans à Saint-Denis. Deux buts sont ici poursuivis : offrir aux chercheurs un bilan critique des sources archéologiques et archivistiques existantes tout en permettant à un public plus large de mieux comprendre la genèse de la cité. Le parti adopté est celui d'une histoire topographique de la ville, depuis la première basilique mérovingienne consacré à saint Denis, autour de laquelle est né et s'est développé un espace urbain, jusqu'à la veille de son industrialisation. Cette esquisse de l'évolution de Saint-Denis se fonde sur une sélection de textes et de sources iconographiques abondamment commentés.
