1906 postcard to E M Campbell.

2022 email from R S: I have discovered that Campbell was probably Edward McClure Campbell, an Irish-born physician, who was listed at 36 Warkworth Street in 1901 (census) and 1905 (Kelly’s Directory). He was evidently staying in a boarding house in Hunstanton during the summer of 1906, presumably with his wife Beatrice and son Dennis. The writer of the card (EWK) may have been a fellow pigeon-keeper as the writer states: There must have been a fight in the Columbarian last night, for this morning I found a young Blue Rock dead.’ I haven’t been able ot identify the initials.

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
