History of Station Road Cambridge

Station Road c. 1900 (Cambridgeshire Collection)

1900

The story of Selina Jane Court is interesting. She worked for a short time circa 1900 for the eminent theologian Rev Professor Glyn Handley Moule. Moule is recorded as living in Station Road in 1900 but was appointed Bishop of Durham in 1901 and he doesn’t appear in the 1901 census in Cambridge. So far the house in Station Road can’t be identified precisely. Selina is however recorded in 1901 as a ladies maid at the grand house of Menabilly in Cornwall. By 1911 she is indeed widowed and living with her father as a dressmaker with the name of Selina Jane Mear. The premises of Ralph Starr the photographer were at 108 Fitzroy Street.

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
