More about this scene

With their knee-length breeches and caps, the word that comes to mind is 'urchins'. More to the point, one wonders just what it was they were conspiring about when the photographer set up to take this photograph!

My paternal Robinson relatives (married Moore) are buried in the churchyard at Great Shelford from 1839 and at one time lived in Woollard's Lane. In 1849 they moved into Cambridge when William Joseph Robinson marrried Jane Rayment Mansfield Barrett. One branch remained in Cambridge whilst others moved to Lancashire and the United States.
