Pink Floyd, Cambridge, Cherry Hinton and me

All right, I know the band was formed here in Cambridge, that Roger Waters and Syd Barret attended Morley Memorial (I was trying to send Andre to this school), Hills Road Sixth Form College and David Gilmour attended Perse School. All schools now familiar for me.

I know they used to live in Cherry Hinton, in my neighborhood.


What I didnt know is that Syd Barret was living here until his death in June, 2006. Worse, he was living at 8, St. Margaret's Square just a few blocks from my apartment at Lilac Court.



And the house was sold last month. Maybe a fan. Or not.
