About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Cambridge treats the building as what it was for centuries: the White Horse Inn at the foot of Castle Hill. It follows the village farmers who came in with carts and livestock for market day, and the run of widows named Elizabeth who kept the licence going. Stand by the old bar room windows, where the glass still carries a couple of names.
