CIP 11.6.1887: Accident. —What might have proved a serious accident occurred near the Mill-road Railway-gate on Tuesday morning. A young man named Maltby, butcher, of Gwydir-street, had just crossed the rails in his father’s cart, from the Town side, when the tug strap of the saddle broke. The shafts consequently came to the ground and were smashed. The horse’s legs became entangled in the harness and broken pieces of shaft, which very naturally frightened the animal. It started off down the road, and Maltby unfortunately, was thrown out of the trap. Assistance was, happily, at hand, and the young fellow received medical attention as soon as it could be obtained. Mr. Turnell (surgeon) examined him and pronounced him to have been very much shaken and badly bruised ; but, fortunately, no bones were broken. The horse ran straight into a lamp-post, resulting in the complete smashing up of the cart. Maltby, we hear, is doing as well as can be expected.

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
