Castle Street, Cambridge
Castle Street is a street in the north of central Cambridge, England.[1][2] To the southeast is a junction with Northampton Street, Magdalene Street, and Chesterton Lane (leading to Chesterton Road). To the northwest is a junction with Mount Pleasant, Huntingdon Road (leading northwest out of Cambridge), Histon Road (leading north out of Cambridge), and Victoria Road.[3]
To the northeast is Castle Hill, the location of Cambridge Castle, and the Cambridgeshire Shire Hall. To the southwest is St Peter's Church and Honey Hill. On the corner of Castle Street and Northampton Street is the Cambridge & County Folk Museum which, in 2013, announced that it would be renaming itself to the Museum of Cambridge.[4] Also here is Kettle's Yard, a former home and now a modern art gallery and place for reflection.[5]
Castle Street Methodist Church is in the street.[6] The Castle Inn public house is also located here.[2]
