A Cambridge newsagent for over half a century, Mr Frederick Rossendale, passed away after a stroke at the age of 81. A well-known figure locally, he was a member of the Borough Police Force before he opened his newsagent’s business at 14 Fitzroy Street, trading under the name of Rossendale and Clamp. As a bank messenger he had the task of taking the bank’s money from Cambridge to London by train before the days of modern transport facilities. 38 04 19
