High Street looking west from The Cross. C.1905.

53 – 57 High Street, St Neots

History of 53 - 57 High Street

The photo seems to show the street c.1905 as Ellwoods had moved by 1908. The barbers pole was Mr Flanders and the Ship Inn have long since gone, so there is nothing that remains of the architecture of the street east of the Congregational Church.

Corner of Huntingdon Street and High Street c.1910

The building at this corner had been the George Inn in the 18th century with Assembly Rooms above. In 1910 the ground floor was freeman’s grocery store. This was taken over by the Co-op Society.

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
