History of 237 Milton Road

This was the house built by Harry Allen Moden after his marriage in 1908. He moved here from Humberstone Road in 1914 after his doctor advised him to take more exercise. He had previously lived with his family at 3 Market Hill.

Previously, as well as his work at the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company, he had been a prolific cartoonist, publishing them as postcards for sale in local shops.

After the move to Milton Road he virtually ceased drawing and very few colleagues knew that he had been a cartoonist.

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
