Harry Goldstein

Priscilla Goldstein

In Growing Up in Cambridge, Alec Forshaw describes those living in the house on the other side of Roseford Road, in number 322.

These were the Gees who were Jewish. Harry had come from grmany in the 1930s and opened an electrical shop at 94a Mill Road. The family with their single son were rarely seen. They had changed their name from Goldstein to ‘avoid drawing attention’. However in the electoral register they can both be found registered as Goldstein in 1952 and following years.

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
