PS sent a note about the property in 2022:

My Mother’s grandfather and grandmother were named Charles and Alice Spaull. Charles was a dairyman and they resided at 72/74 Cavendish Road in Cambridge. Up until recently the dairy yard and buildings were still in existence but they have been converted and now constitute a residential property, 1 Wetenhall Road. There is some confusion over the house number on Cavendish road; family have always believed the number to be 74, but 72 is attached and on the corner of Cavendish road/Wetenhall road, where the Dairy yard is situated.  So it must have been number 72. Charles and Alice’s issue were – Marie ( my grandmother) , Marjorie, Ronald and Bernard.Charles was born in London in 1871 and he was Jewish. Nobody knows why or how he came to settle in Cambridge. My mother believes he was born in Highgate.

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
