39 High Street, Cottenham (photo E Smith)39 High Street Cottenham
History of 39 High Street
Cottenham in Focus (2002) notes that this property was used as a bus garage between the First and Second World Wars. It housed the last bus from Cambridge at night which would leave at 7.10 am the next day.
[The locations of properties become more difficult to locate even relative to each other as one works back through the censuses. The assumption has been made that families are likely to be at the same location in consecutive censuses but this cannot be verified.]
