title The Winter Fair, Mill Road, Cambridge - 2nd December 2006 intro Mill Road on the east side of Cambridge is home to all sorts of interesting shops. Along its length can be found Chinese and Korean supermarkets, Polish sausage specialists, Brazilian cafés, Middle-Eastern supplies, Turkish kebabs and Indian restaurants. On one day in December, pretty much the whole street participates in the Winter Fair, which gives a chance to offer a few free tasty treats, and for some of the normally-closed places to open up to show what they do. There are also various street entertainments occuring, in particular a Chinese dragon dance which takes place on Donkey Common, near the swimming pool on the very end of Mill Road. Also, one of these photos won the Mill Road Winter Fair photo competition, which netted £50 in Co-op vouchers, for the win. imgp9253 A busy info point outside Mickey Flynn's imgp9255 The Al Amin dudes inflate balloons with helium imgp9257 Outside St. Barnabas Church imgp9258 Some girls offer free cakes outside St. Barnabas imgp9261 A gospel choir does its thing imgp9265 An excellent gospel choir praises the lord imgp9267 Isobel prepares to check out Bacchinalia imgp9268 Isobel looks around imgp9270 Checking out various chili-based products imgp9277 The Mersea oyster guy imgp9280 Isobel queues up for oysters imgp9286 Another choir in fine voice sing Christmas carols imgp9289 On the lane off Mill Road imgp9292 Outside Arjuna Wholefoods imgp9295 Lessons in chopstick use at Kimmoy Noodles imgp9298 Chopstick lessons and free green tea imgp9300 A dude with a big blonde wig imgp9304 H Gee, where everything has turned to cyan imgp9307 Inside the church of St. Barnabas imgp9308 The St. Barnabas Press imgp9309 A guy on stilts walks up Mill Road imgp9311 The legendary Al-Amin imgp9313 People on the railway bridge imgp9315 Mill Road from the railway bridge imgp9316 A small girl in a big wig imgp9317 A Turkish guy in a fake moustache imgp9318 Chinese percussion imgp9319 Chinese percussion and a red post box imgp9321 A guy unicycles past, er, a bi-cycle shop imgp9323 A girl gets face-painted imgp9324 The results of face painting imgp9333 A bit of juggling occurs imgp9336 The dude on stilts walks along Mill Road imgp9339 More face painting imgp9341 The upper end of Mill Road imgp9343 Lessons in Chinese drumming imgp9351 Outside Petersfield Pharmacy imgp9352 Houses are reflected in Sally Ann's shop window imgp9353 A view from behind a market stall imgp9354 The Chinese dragon outside Petersfield imgp9357 The dragon's head imgp9361 The dragon sets off up Mill Road imgp9364 The Kymmoy Noodle woman points the way imgp9375 On Donkey Common, the Chinese dragon's head awaits imgp9376 Donkey Common imgp9393 A dragon dance imgp9407 Dragon dancing imgp9434 The secret is revealed: it's actually people imgp9435 After the dancing is over
