History of 254 Hills Road

1911

absent Dr George Stuart Graham-Smith [1875-1950]

Norah Haylock, 20, servant cook, born Harston

Bella Thomson, 16, servant housemaid, born Aberdeenshire

Dr Graham-Smith wrote wrote numerous papers on subjects such as diptheria, transmission of disease by flies and, in 1903, a report on ‘the micro-organisms in the air of the House of Commons’, Journal of Hygiene iii: 498. He was university lecturer in hygiene and secretary to the sub-syndicate for tropical medicine. There is a fund in his name, set up by his will, to resource work on bacteriology and pathology.

Dr Graham-Smith was living at 254 Hills Road in 1920. He is on the electoral living at Forvie, Hills Road, in 1939. The editor assumes that this was the same property in the absence of any other evidence.

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
