1889 CDN 17.12.1889Sudden Death of an Infant.—An inquest was held this afternoon, at the Arms, Gwydir-street, before Mr. Henry Gotobed, touching the death of Grace Emily Clark, aged eight months, daughter of Edward Clark, poulterer, of 61, Gwydir-street. The evidence given at the inquest showed that the child had a cold, and was subject to “wheezing,” but had not been so ill as to cause any serious apprehension. On Sunday morning, however, when the mother awoke, she found the child dead by her side.—Mr. Apthorp, surgeon, who made a postmortem examination, was of opinion that the cause of death was bronchial complaints. A verdict accordingly was returned.

Joseph Redfarn, jun., butcher. 10, Mill-street, said on December 23rd he was in Gwydir-street, walking, about 11-50 am., near Mr. Brown’s shop, and noticed a row of pails and footbaths standing in the gutter and on the road. About an hour afterwards he again passed the shop in a cart and saw the pails and footbaths in the same position. The horse shied at the articles and fell down, breaking the shafts of the cart.

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
