Soham: down the High Street
A small town in the Cambridgeshire Fens, between Ely and Newmarket. The house on the left is Grade II listed: "Two cottages, now one, forming an L-plan. The front range was an open hall, C16, into which the floor and hearth were inserted in C17. In c 1840 the facade was cased in gault brick. Timber-framed, plaster-rendered with plain tile roof and tall early C18 red and gault brick stack to the side of the ridge. Three bays and now with lobby-entry plan. Three dormers and three recessed hung sashes with glazing bars. Circa 1840 doorcase of fluted pilasters with plain entablature and dentil cornice. The rear, originally a separate cottage, is C17 and also timber-framed and plaster-rendered. Plain tile roof with ridge stack."

Soham: St Andrew - from the east
"Perp of a very ambitious kind," wrote Nikolaus Pevsner. The chancel is in "the Dec style of the early C14 ...with a five-light E window that has rich flowing tracery." The picture was taken on an overcast October morning.

Monopolowy
At the corner of High Street and White Hart Lane in Soham. The name originally denoted the chain of government monopoly off-licence (liquor) stores in Poland which were the only outlets permitted to sell beer, wine and vodka for retail consumption. Sales were not permitted before 1pm. This shop seems to be a general licensed grocer, though it specialises in products likely to appeal to the many eastern Europeans who live and work in East Cambridgeshire district with its predominantly agricultural economy.
