In 1901 the family were living at Sussex House, Hartington Grove.

In 2024 a folder that contained the pages of the Urbs Camboritum was brought to the Museum of Cambridge by JB, a descendant.

Charles Henry Piper, 5 Emery Street

The folder contains the following note: Most of these “Leaflets” were drawn over a period of about ten years 1895-1905 and presented to me by my Coach William R Bropwn a noted Latin Tutor at that time. I think the original plates of Sketches were produced by Messrs Heffer and Son of Cambridge. William R Brown was a member of Jesus Lane Meeting.

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
