Cambridge Women’s Physical Culture Club

The Dorothy Cafe – The Cambridge Women’s Physical Culture Club

The Cambridge Women's Physical Culture Club

The Cambridge Women’s Physical Culture Club was based at the Dorothy Cafe. However, they would often demonstrate their synchronized displays outside at locations such as the Leys School. Our archive of photos and cuttings  belonged to Mrs Gladys Morley, wife of Dan Morley the garage owner and car dealer of Pleasant Hill.

The East Anglian Film Archive contact an entry about the club:
