Cambridge Breakfast: University Library receives Poems on the Underground

Hundreds of posters and memorabilia items from a public art project – Poems On The Underground – have been donated to Cambridge University Library. The scheme began in 1986 with posters displayed across London’s Tube network, featuring the words of literary greats.

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
