5 January 1945 – Runaway Pony
Runaway Pony. At about 11.20 a.m. on Tuesday a pony and trap was left outside Messrs Holland and Blackwell’s shop in Pembroke Street, when the pony took fright. It turned into Trumpington Street and ran towards King’s Parade and at the corner of Bene’t Street and King’s Parade struck a lamp standard. The trap and harness were damaged, and the pony having freed itself, ran along King’s Parade and Trinity Street, being finally stopped uninjured in St. John’s Street. It caused no further damage.

Antiques dealer Stanley Woolston moved his business to Pembroke Street after thirty years in premises on St Andrew’s Street. The move resulted from redevelopment associated with Emmanuel Street and proposals linking Drummer Street with a shopping arcade. He retained his warehouse at the end of Bradwell’s Yard pending future redevelopment. Occupancy/location evidence: Occupier: Stanley Woolston, antiques dealer. Former premises on St Andrew’s Street affected by Emmanuel Street redevelopment. Warehouse retained in Bradwell’s Yard.

Mr Stanley Woolston has removed his antiques business to Pembroke Street. It is a wrench to leave his former premises in St Andrew’s Street after 30 years where he has been honoured by the gracious patronage of members of the Royal Family. But the buildings have been affected by the redevelopment of Emmanuel Street and plans to link Drummer Street with a shopping arcade. He will retain his warehouse at the end of Bradwell’s Yard until the area is ripe for rebuilding.
