History of 49 High Street

Michael Rouse, Cambridge in Early Postcards (1978), writes:

Mr E W Morley of Linton, who was born in 1889 and managed the Post office in the village for forty-one years, was at a remarkably early age an entrepreneur in picture postcard photography and publishing.

This shop was owned by E W Morley himself.

Four boys in suits and hats stand in front of a canvas tent with a sign identifying E. W. Morley, with two Daily Telegraph signs.

E W Morley sold newspapers to the troops on manoeuvres near Cambridge in 1912.King George V came to Linton to view the spectacle.
