227 Mill Road

History of 227 Mill Road

In 2003 Evelyn Caudle wrote to the Museum with her memories of Mill Road.

I was born in Royston but moved to Cambridge when I was 15 and have lived in the same house in Mill Road for 65 years.

The houses did not have bathrooms and I used to use the bath house in Gwydir Street. One vivd memory is of the milk cart pulled by a horse coming along Coleridge Road opposite the house here. The horse suddenly bolted and ended up with its feet over the railings and just missing our bay window.

1962

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
