History of 238 Cherry Hinton Road

1911

Martha Barker, 56, (4 children, 1 died), born Cambridge

This used to be the site of Tibbitts and Allen Ltd, the mechanical engineers. This company was formed in 1946 to manufacture small domestic articles. From this arose a demand for a large range of specialised components for the electrical, radio and instrument industries. The company expanded into premises in the Chesterton area.
