The Eagle

This is the Eagle Inn in Cambridge, UK. The plaque on the wall reads:

The Eagle – Our History
The site was bequeathed to Corpus Christi College in 1525. The inn was first mentioned as a Commercial-Activity (then called Eagle & Child) in 1667. The Rutland Club founded in 1728 by John Mortlock, set up its headquarters in the 18th Century.

During their research into “DNA” in the early 1950’s Watson & Crick used the Eagle as a place to relax & discuss their theories whilst refreshing themselves with ale.

In 1988 a major restoration was carried out by Corpus Christi & Green King & opened as it is now in 1992. Special interest is the “RAF Bar” ceiling covered with names & Squadron No’s of RAF & USAF airmen in World War II.
