In 2024 AM sent this note: I lived at 63 Lensfield  Road from approximately 1946 / 7 to 1952. My grandmother Kathleen de Gray and grandfather Albert Edward de Gray who worked for Pye’s and my aunt and uncle John H.B. De Gray all resided at that address. I recall my grandmother mentioning that the great actor from Cambridge, Peter Ustinov, used to pop in and visit but I have no proof of this family connection. I do recall though that after ballet class on a Saturday morning my nana and aunt used to take me to The Dorothy for tea. Tea with real chocolate eclairs.
