Leavis’s warehouse and Constable’s stained glass works — fire, 3 April 1924
A constables passing Messrs H. Leavis’ pianoforte warehouse, Regent Street, Cambridge noticed signs of fire. The whole of the upper floor of Messrs Constable’s stained glass works was gutted and the glass cracked and popped. Messrs Leavis’ premises seem to have suffered from the effects of water. Pianos & portions of pianos, undamaged by fire were surrounded by pools of dirty water, drops of which fell with a monotonous slash from the ceiling.

Leavis’s, Regent Street — Victor Carne’s gramophone records, 16 December 1926
It may not be generally known to the Cambridge public that Mr Carne, the manager of the Playhouse, Mill Road, is the “Victor Carne” who figures in the record list of the Vocalion Gramophone Co. He has recorded “The Holy City” and “The Star of Bethlehem” for their Christmas list and these and other of his records are obtainable at Messrs Leavis’s, Regent Street. Wireless enthusiasts will no doubt remember the many times he has sung from London and Daventry.
