RobertSayle is the best department store in the city and in 2000 occupied several buildings, this being the main one.
RobertSayle moved onto the site in 1840 and there have been massive changes in both the interior and exterior of the rambling buildings over the years, both in the 19th and 20th centuries.
RobertSayle moved to temporary premises on Burleigh Street in September 2004 in preparation for the re-development.
The original RobertSayle store opened in 1840 in St. Andrew's Street and continued to trade until 2005, when it moved to temporary premises.
The shop is due to return to a new, larger building on the original site, which is now part of the Grand Arcade shopping centre, in 2007, and will change its name to John Lewis.
Taken from the roof of the arts picturehouse, this shows the sidewall of the new RobertSayledepartment store - except they are going to call it John Lewis when it opens in 2008...
Yes - RobertSayle was the cambridge branch - like Peter Jones in Sloane Square, we're different.
It is a shame, but at least they are moving out the store in Burleigh Street, it doesn't feel like RobertSayles (or John Lewis) in there....
Any goods purchased in these stores can be taken to the customer collection point in RobertSayle who will then deliver your shopping directly to the RobertSayle service building next to the Trumpington Park & Ride site.
At each till point you visit, let the staff know you are using the Shop, Drop and Ride service so extra care can be taken when packing your goods and your collection card can be updated.
So once you have done your shopping and dropped it off with RobertSayle you can relax with a free tea or coffee at Debenhams before heading back to pick up your bus to the Trumpington Park & Ride site.

The latest CBI quarterly Distributive Trades Survey shows sales reported for November and expectations for this month are the worst recorded in 22 years.

The RobertSayle store will have moved to Burleigh Street by the time you read this (had they stayed on site we might have had five years of chaos rather than three), and the magistrates court will temporarily move to Trumpington.
Drivers will have to park elsewhere, one of the options being an extended Park and Ride (RobertSayle will be providing a pick-up point at Trumpington Park and Ride site to make this easier).

Nick Errico had 2, RobertSayle had 4, and Igor Olshansky, who was in large part responsible for Tyson sitting as long as he did and deserves some props just for that, scored 3.
