A tall, weathered grey metal water pump stands against a cream brick wall next to potted plants on a stone-paved courtyard.

341 Newmarket Road, Headly and Edward’s Iron Foundry

History of 341 Newmarket Road

In 1852 the Headly brothers dissolved their partnership running the Eagle Foundry off Mill Road. Edward Headly set up an ironmongery business in Corn Exchange Street. This was carried on by his son who built a foundry in Newmarket Road. In 1885 the firm became Headly and Edwards; it ceased business in 1934.

Oval metal plaque on a dark, weathered post reads Headly & Manning, Engineers, 1853, Cambridge, partially obscured by a plant.
