Cromwell Park Estate, Cambridge

A 1930s development

The photograph was published in the Cambridge Independent Press on 23 February 1934, with the caption:

“Alderman E O Brown lays the first brick on the Cromwell Park Estate, Coldham’s Lane, where a new building scheme is being started.”

The following plan of the estate was published in the Cambridge Daily News on 17 February 1934.

 

 

Advertised as ‘The Nearest Building Estate to the Centre of Town’ by Cambridge Ideal Homes Limited, two types of housing were for sale with garage space, and prices were from £350.

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
