History of 61 Darwin Drive

1962

Albert L R Lock

In Growing Up in Cambridge, Alec Forshaw, describes the Locks. Mrs Lock, Daisy, came on Wednesday mornings to help his mother clean their house at 320 Histon Road. She was ‘a dumpy cheerful woman who never seemed to stop talking.’ She would wash the lino kitchen floor and polish the hall tiles. Alec never learned her first name at the time. She had been born in Cambridge but had never been inside any of the colleges.
