In 2022 Cathy Douglas published “Pamela Mary Bryant: Memories of 65 Years in Sturton Street Cambridge” (ISBN 979-8-21-019910-2). Pamela had moved to 176 Sturton Street in 1957, a house already owned by her husband’s family, and had lived there until moving to Ely in April 2022. The book is a transcription of Cathy’s interviews with Pamela. [See 174 Sturton Street]
