PLACE REPRESENTED: Cambridge England

ITEM: Snow Globe

NOTES: One of the modern sturdy substantial snow globes replacing the plastic ones of the 70s and 80s. This one depicts Cambridge. Cambridge is a university city, non-metropolitan district and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England. Hence all the university buildings depicted though there is a bridge and boat. And why not, Cambridge is famous for its relaxed boating down the river Cam (though nowadays relaxed boating may be seen by some at Cambridge University as a representation of white privilege). Here the Mathematical Bridge is shown – a wooden footbridge in the southwest of central Cambridge (The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design)
