This property is no longer standing. Numbers 130, 132, 134, 136 & 138 formed a terrace approximately where the entrance is to St. Matthew’s Garden. The 1888 Cambridge Town Plan and the 1910 Land Tax both refer to this section as “Lower York Street”.
Number 136 York Street is not on the 1881 or 1891 Census.
