66 Cavendish Avenue, Southside

History of 66 Cavendish Avenue

The land for this house , and the two on either side, was bought in October 1911 by William Archer, the builder. The house was completed in 1912. The next owner was Lionel Rodwell, estate agent, in 1920, which may mean that it was let during the intervening period. (Source- personal communication)

Alfred Gibson of this address, a major in the Essex RAMC, baptised his son on 24/9/18 at St John’s. (St John’s register of baptisms)

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
