Memories of Cambridgeshire
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 Fulbourn Road down the High Street to Chalks Farm. Old Ken Baker riding side-saddle on the big Shire horse, chewing a bit of straw, delivering muck for the allotments behind Fulbourn Road. Those were the days. Walking to school from Fulbourn Road down what was classed as Long Walker (a path which ran from Fulbourn Road to Fishers Lane) before the council estate was built. And the other footpath which ran from between Fulbourn Road and the old Dutch barn over the hill to the beech woods. No longer there (but could be if the locals had it opened up). I remember Mr Olie Chapman, 56 Fulbourn Road. He... Read more
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. 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. I had a good time with the Clarke family and they are among my best childhood memories.
Before them I was billeted at 'Mafeking Cottages' and then Cherry Hinton Hall. I was one of 9 children and never saw my mother till the war ended. I left 34 Fulbourne Road in 1945 to return to a very poor family. I would love to hear if Ron was that grandchild. I am 75.
34 Fulbourn Road
Hi John Moore, I am very interested in what you remember. I was born at number 34 in 1941 and lived with my nana Ethel and grandad, mother Rita and sister Rita, there was also a boy from London, Douglas Kitson, he lived with Nana until he got married in 1957 but died in 1983 aged 47. My mother Rita died AUG. 26th 2009 aged 93 years, my father Phil. in 1997 aged 79.
I live in Nottingham now (since 1964) but would love to meet you and go over things about what we remember. My e.mail is: ronclarke1@talktalk.net kind Regards,
Ron Clarke
Mafeking Cottages
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 and the social workers knocked all of the doors in Church End. The elderley occupants of the cottages (I believe a Mr and Mrs Cooper) agreed to take us in on a temporary basis. They were two seperate cottages at the time and my sister was taken next door. Does anyone remember that time or even us, John & Mary Moore?
Pub Crown And Thistle Just Out of View
I moved into the Crownd and Thistle about 1941 aged 4 and I left village in 1960. Arthur Benstead was landlord for many years. He and Muriel his wife retired just across the road to a house left by Mr Knowles the postman. The Pattens lived in the thatched cottage on the right. Not much has changed, just a few infillings but just past the conifer was a stackyard and threshing engine yard.
