Evacuee from London

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.

I remember the sheep being brought from... [more]

Marshall's Airport

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.

I lived in those cottages!1948 - 1957-ish

In 1946 my late father, Ron Goodliffe, got a job as a tractor driver for the vast Pemberton estate, and we moved into one of their tied-cottages in Swans Yard, that used to be off the High Street.  Then, in 1948, we moved into 18 Grantchester Road which is the white cottage that's set back in the photo.  In those days...

Cambridge Photographic Memories

Queens' College was founded in 1448. It was one of the first colleges to be built in red brick at the time when the rather expensive fashion of imported stone began to decline. The second court contains the President's Lodge, one of the few half-timbered Tudor college buildings.
