History of hertford Hall

In 2022 ACB emailed:

My grandfather was Jack Pointer who ran the Cambridge Ice Cream Company out of Hertford Hall on Hertford St. My mum remembers going there on her way home from school in the mid-1950s, and later did the books there. She thinks the company had moved from the Kinema on Mill Road to Hertford Road a few years before but possibly after WWII e.g. by about 1947.

In 1981 (CWN 9 Apr)reported that a copy of the sale catalogue is in the Cambridgeshire Collection. It also said that some people thought the site was a “hush-hush” factory during the last war.

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
