Garden Walk

History of Garden Walk Cambridge

Locating the addresses of those mentioned as living on Garden Walk before 1901 is problematic as there is no continuity of inhabitants between 1891 and 1901 and the properties in the 1891 and 1881 censuses are not named or numbered.

The 1886 map shows a number of properties:

1886 OS Map Garden Walk

These appear to be:

on the east side nos. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 38 (Westbury Lodge) and 40 (Green End)

on the west side nos. 7,9,11,13, 23 (Glynn House), 31 (Das Heim), 33 (Lindum). In addition there is a large property away from the road at the back of where 37 (Merrivale) and 39 (Rathvale) were later situated, and a large house further north, also away from the road, which I assume to be no. 63 (The Haven).

Assigning families to these houses is difficult unless evidence other than that in the censuses comes to light. For that reason the earlier census information will be put on this general page for Garden Walk. [RGL 2019]
