Gwydir Street Stories – About

Recording residents' memories of Gwydir Street

Explore the story of Gwydir Street and the local area with the people who live here!

The oral history recordings in this collection have been produced by Gwydir Street Friends in collaboration with the local community and Professor Helen Weinstein of Historyworks and  have been made possible with the support of National Heritage Lottery Fund and Cambridge City Council Community Grants as part of This Is Our Street! – an intergenerational, cultural heritage project.

In each recording the guest is interviewed by a neighbour with the ambition to encourage friendship and exchange and bridge connections between different generations living on the street.

Meet the neighbours:

Hazel & Charles – Gwydir Street

John – Gwydir Street

Sam & Pat – Gwydir Street

Jo – Gwydir Street

Agata & Becky – Gwydir Street

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit.

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 our operations back.

This 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 today.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
