Station canteen, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, 20 November 1941
Original extract: The changeover to the new canteen … was achieved in triumph without closing the old one for a single day.
The helpers were for a few days deafened and greatly impeded in their work by the hammering, sawing and all the other activities of a large body of workmen …
The customers are now able to sit in comfort at tables instead of at a shelf round the wall.
