History of Higher Grade schools

This is the site of the Higher Grade Infants School and later the Girls High Grade School.

In the picture above of the Infants School, the older lady is Miss Bond, and the pupil teacher, Jessie, who later went on to teach at the Central School

It had been a clothing factory run by the Suttle family. Leslie had taken over from his father Frank who started the business in Fitzroy Street at the beginning of the C20th.

In 1981 it was a warehouse and workshop for Kitchen 22.

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
