Harold E Brown

My grandparents, Harrold and Rosa Brown (nee Page) lived at number 22 from the mid 1930s. Harrold died in 1968; Rosa continued to live at number 22 until about 1985. She then moved to a smaller house in Milton Road; she died in 1999. My mother, Betty Brown (now Arnold) and her sister Rita (now Hughes) both lived there all their lives until they left to get married. My sister and I spent many happy hours at 22 Ferry Path as children, it was a wonderful house.

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
