History of 1 St Paul's Road

1913

John Morley, architect

John Morley was a local architect who had established his practice, a partnership with a Mr Robb, in St Andrews Street in 1873. He went on to acquire the leases of all but five of the 16 plots laid out around the Harvey and St Paul’s Roads and in this way followed the tradition of the speculative architect common in the Victorian building world.

In 1884 Morley had left Cambridge to travel in Europe. He returned in 1900 to continue his practice and in 1901 designed the Police and Fire Station in St Andrews Street.

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
