The Grafton Cambridge

Grafton Renovations 2017

Grafton Centre, Renovations

The Grafton Centre, on the corner of Burleigh Street and Fitzroy Street, Cambridge, was constructed in the early 1980s. Internally, it has seen many changes with shops coming and going. However, it is only in 2016 that much needed renovations started. These pictures show some stages of the renovation which is not yet complete. The builders say that the new roof will be water-tight. Visitors to the Grafton Centre will no doubt remember the yellow buckets here and there on rainy days.

 

 

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
