History of 13 Madras Road

Walter Morley and Thomas Armstrong, painter and glazier

1919 15/8/1919 Ernest & Millie Southerhill charged with damaging crop of sainfoin (CC BNA CIP).

Ernest and Millie Southerhill’s, and Frederick Brand’s, damaging of sainfoin, then a widely- planted form of green manure which also produced excellent hay, may have taken place on the fields south of the old Newmarket rail line – fields which would be turned to housing in the 1930s. Why would they be damaging a crop? Was there a picnic on private land? (See Madras Road Report)

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
