I remember Ludo Stewart who was Music Adviser and David Bass and Sam Grice (both staff teachers with me) and the SMO,... [more]

The lady on the left by the railings of King's College is my older sister then aged 22. We lived in Cambridge until 1922 and I was a pupil at Cambridge High School during the First World War. I am now 93.

I lived at 14 The Homing, Meadowlands, Cambridge which was close to the airport. I was 8 years old in 1955. Often on sunny weekends, my Mum would takes us on a walk over to the airport.
It was a quiet relaxed place in those days. There was no kind of airport security, and you could stroll through the gate... [more]

I lived in Mafeking Cottages for a short time in 1939 as an evacuee. We arrived in Cherryhinton from London and after a long day trying to get billeted in Cambridge my twin sister and I were taken to Church End and left sitting on a grass verge outside the cottages. Just a few of us were left to be settled... [more]

I was interested to read the article by Ron Clarke (1950s football team). I lived at 34 Fulbourne Road with Mr and Mrs Clarke in the war. They were looking after their grandson whose father I believe was named Phil and was posted abroad. I have a few memories of Cherry Hinton in the war, some good, some not so good.... [more]

THE VILLAGE FOOTBALL TEAM OF THE 1950s
I remember in the 1950s when Cherry Hinton had the best village football team in Cambridgeshire, and around the 1950s when Cherry Hinton was a village, sadly no more. Farms up the High Street. Smiths bakers in Fulbourn Road. A piano playing all the old songs on a Saturday night in the Robin Hood.
I remember the sheep being brought from... [more]

Cambridgeshire Photographic Memories
Here we see St John's College Old Bridge, originally conceived by Wren, but brought into being in 1712 by Robert Grumbold. Just beyond, joining Third and New Courts of St John's College, is the Bridge of Sighs, its Gothic design unashamedly borrowed from the covered bridge of the same name in Venice.

East Anglia Photographic Memories
Joining the two courts of St John's College on either side of the River Cam is the Bridge of Sighs. It borrows the idea of the covered bridge from the one of the same name in Venice. Although the Cambridge version, built in 1831, has barred unglazed windows, the students passing through it were not necessarily looking their last upon the... [more]
