In 2021 IH wrote:

Charles Robert Carter born 1877 in London. He married Mary Anne Singleton (my great aunt) in Cambridge in 1900 and was living in Madingley Road working as a milkman. We believe his father Robert Carter ran or owned a dairy in Cambridge. In the 1901 census he was living at 18 Northampton Street and a few weeks later he moved to Edmonton. 

The picture shows Charles as a Cambridge Volunteer Fire officer.

1913

Herbert Smith, tailor

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
