History of 54 St Barnabas Road

1913

Miss McDonald


3 May 1928

Cambridge was visited by a thunderstorm characterised by some very heavy peals of thunder and very sharp flashes of lightning. The chimney of a house at 54 St Barnabas Road was struck. Mr Easton, a Mill Road cycle agent, said his family had not left the back bedroom more than two minutes when they were startled by a terrific explosion. The electric light failed and they found that a bedroom fireplace had been blown out into the room and lay smothered with dust and soot on the floor.
