History of 28 Histon Road

1901

Susannah E Plumb,39, grocer shop keeper, b Six Mile Bottom

Francis G, brother, widower, 30, porter GER,  b Six Mile Bottom

Jasper Q, nephew, 6, b Chesterton

Kate G Ranner, niece, 17, grocers assistant, b Cambridge

1911

Miss Susannah Elizabeth Plumb, 49, grocer and general dealer, b Brinkley

In 1913 Jasper’s father, Francis, is living in Hemingford Road. We could assume that he moved from his parents’ house to work for his aunt but it seems that it was his father who moved to a new home.

1917

Jasper Quincey Plumb: Private, 2nd/4th Battalion Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Died 22/08/1917. Age 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
