The Eagle, Cambridge
Originally opened in 1667 as the "Eagle and Child", The Eagle is one of the larger pubs in Cambridge, England, on the north side of Bene't Street in the centre of the city.〔(Bene't Street: The Eagle pub ), (Cambridge 2000 ).〕 The site is owned by Corpus Christi College and is managed by Greene King brewery. Apart from the main bar, it sports a beer garden and the so-called RAF bar, at the rear, with graffiti of World War II airmen covering the ceiling and walls.
==Significance==
When the university's Cavendish Laboratory was still at its old site at nearby Free School Lane, the pub was a popular lunch destination for staff working there. Thus, it became the place where Francis Crick interrupted patrons' lunchtime on 28 February 1953 to announce that he and James Watson had "discovered the secret of life" after they had come up with their proposal for the structure of DNA.〔Ed Regis, ''What Is Life?: Investigating the Nature of Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology'', Oxford University Press, 2009, ISBN 0-19-538341-9, p.52〕 The anecdote is related in Watson's book ''The Double Helix'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Secret of life' discovery turns 50 )〕 and is commemorated on a blue plaque next to the entrance, and two plaques in the middle room by the table where Crick and Watson lunched regularly . Today the pub serves a special ale to commemorate the discovery, dubbed "Eagle's DNA".
Opposite ''The Eagle'' is St Bene't's Church,〔(St Bene't's Church website )〕 the oldest standing building in Cambridge, with the Saxon tower dating from around 1033.〔(800 Years of Death and Disease in Cambridge: St Bene't's Church ).〕
