Warren Dosanjh

Cambridge businessman and friend of Syd Barrett

Warren Dosanjh (1945-2025) was born in Cambridge and lived there for virtually all of his life. Like Syd Barrett, he attended the Cambridgeshire High School for Boys from 1956 until 1963, when he just walked out. Warren was manager and roadie of Those Without (Syd Barrett’s first band) from conception until their last gig in September 1965. He was a local businessman and antique dealer who ran the Hope Street Yard until its redevelopment.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
