37 & 39 Milton Road

History of 39 Milton Road

Nos 37 & 39 Milton Road were a nursing home from at least 1939- 1946

1937

Miss M A Kingston, midwife

In 2023 DC sent an email. He had been adopted c.1952 and Miss Kingston and this address had appeared on his adoption papers.

1939 39-37 Nursing Home

Nurse Kingston

ML sent us this note in 2025:

I was born there in 1946.  In attendance were nurses Kingston, Williams and Hawkes – Lilian Hawkes, my Mother’s Aunt – (see Victoria Homes, Victoria Rd where she was resident nurse in 1930s).
Following my delivery, at 7.15pm, Dr Oakden was called in to give follow-up expertise; my mother told me he arrived wearing evening dress and was none too pleased since he was on his way to the Arts Theatre!

1962

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
