Frogge Street, Ickleton

History of Frogge Street cottages

This is the approximate location of the cottage in Frogge Street  where William John Plumb and his wife Rose née Hagger moved in 1930:

They set up home in Frogge Street, Ickleton, n this small cottage on the left hand side going in ((about the fifth cottage on the left) opposite the Beehive Public House and Off Licence, which was run by Mr and Mrs Art Rule.

(from Little Un’s Story by Derek Plumb, pub 2002)

In 1936 the family moved to one of the ‘1936 Cottages’  just along from the Red Lion (Ickleton Lion) Public House. The family stayed there until 1953 when they moved to the bungalow ‘Luckfield” at Stump Cross, Great Chesterford.

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
