40 Riverside

History of 40 Riverside

In 2017 Jess Applin talked about his father and his paternal grandparents who lived at 40 Riverside.

Edward Frank Applin had been born in 1882 in Trumpington where his father Thomas was an army pensioner who in 1891 was a widower living on Granham Road. He had married Ada Mary Rogers (b. 1888 Biggleswade) in Cambridge in 1907 and they set up home at 40 Riverside. Francis Thomas F Applin was born in 1913 and married Hilda Coe in 1940. Their first home, where Jess was born, was round the corner in Priory Road.

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
