History of 85 Cherry Hinton Road

1911

William Taylor Archer, 32, chemist, born Cherryhinton

Ethel Attree, 30, born London

Grace Alice Dant, servant, 18, born Chesterton

85 Cherry Hinton Road according to the 1913 Cambridge Guide was the home of William Taylor Archer, the chemist. He had previously lived on the other side of the road but crossed in 1905. He had been apprenticed to a Mr Flanders of Mill Road, a rather legendary figure for many reasons, including his ability to extract teeth.

In 1947 the shop was taken over by Coulson and Fisher Ltd.

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
