History of 65 Sidney Street

OS 1886 Cambridge

Properties on Sidney Sussex Street, west side, south of Holy Trinity Church as far as Petty Cury, seem quite hard to locate in the censuses accurately. In 1886 a bank is shown where no.65 would have expected to be. In 1842 a bakery was put up for sale at what appears to be this location, next to Trinity Church. This was part of the Nutter sale of 1842.
