History of 132 Victoria Road

1913

Charles Harding, college servant


1970

Alfred Haggis


1 June 1976 — Houses damaged by heavy lorries
Vibration from heavy lorries thundering along Victoria Road, Cambridge, is causing considerable damage to some of the houses in the road, residents claim. Other have suffered cracking and crumbling mortar and damage to roof tiles. “The lorries are worse than ever now. It’s not just the noise and vibration, it’s the smell as well”, says Mrs Mabel Haggis. The City Surveyor said: “The Northern bypass, which will be completed by the end of 1977, should lead to a considerable easing of the situation.”
