Ainger Place / Terrace, Histon Road

History of Ainger Place

In the 1913 Kelly’s directory of Cambridge Ainger Place lies between 104 Histon Road and 132 Histon Road. The 1926 OS map doesn’t name the location but there is a south facing terrace of about the correct number of houses set back from road in what appears the correct location. So this is the location shown here.
